RedactedNarrative: The Owner of WC #1 (and witness) stated that one of his boat renters had run into a privately owned pontoon boat (WC #2) which was parked over on the gas dock. He gave the officer the information for the boat renter (Operator #1), who had already left the scene and could not be interviewed. The officer then talked to the owner of WC #2. She said that she had her boat tied up to the gas dock when WC #1 struck it on the right side near the driver's chair. She said that no one was operating her boat when it was struck.
  
  On 7/17/2022, the officer contacted Operator #1 to collect his statement. He said he was backing up the fishing boat (WC #1) that he had rented. It was a tiller style steering motor that he is not comfortable using. As he was backing up from the docks, he steered to the right which was getting close to a small boat. He started to go forward but the throttle was sticky and he turned to the left side, striking the pontoon boat (WC #2) that was tied to the gas dock. He said there were 5 people on the pontoon boat at the time of the incident. He said that his father was the only passenger on board with him. He said he did not remember if they were wearing life jackets or not. He talked with the owner of WC #1 to make sure that he had his contact information and then he and his dad left the scene.
  
  There were no injuries with this incident. It is unknown if alcohol was a factor. Life jackets were not being worn in WC #2. There was damage to WC #2 and a small amount of damage to WC #1.
