RedactedNarrative: On the night of Friday August 14, 2015 at 11:30 pm, vessel #1 was in the vicinity of the mouth of Dutch Second Creek on High Rock Lake. Vessel #1 had dropped one anchor and was moving slowly attempting to drop a second anchor. Proper navigation lights were in operation on vessel #1. A total of 3 people were on board. No alcohol on board.
   
  Vessel #2, was travelling downstream (SW) in the main channel of High Rock Lake and planning on entering the mouth of Dutch Second Creek. The vessel speed was moderate and resulted in the vessel being on plane as it moved. The reported operator had only driven a boat twice and never at night. The other occupant who was acting as the lookout, was very impaired by alcoholic beverages and most likely had been the true operator of the vessel, but because of lack of witnesses this could not be proved. Vessel #2 had all navigation lights in operation. A total of 2 people were on board.
   
  As Vessel #2 entered the mouth of Dutch Second Creek, the operator stated he was looking at the fish finder (sonar) and suddenly the boat hit something. Vessel #2 began to fill with water, then suddenly turned over. Both occupants jumped/fell into the water. No PFDs were being worn. Vessel #2 occupants were then rescued by the occupants of Vessel #1.
   
  At the time of the collision, the starboard bow of Vessel #2 struck the port stern corner of vessel #1, then continued to travel less than 100 yards in a circular route before filling with water and overturning. Damage to vessel #1 was a small dent less than 12 inches in length. No passengers injured. Damage to vessel #2 was a large hole in the starboard bow that was almost 24 inches in width and 12 inches in height. Vessel #2 overturned resulting in the loss of personal equipment and damage to outboard motor. Vessel #2 would be considered a total loss. No injuries to occupants of vessel #2 that required medical attention beyond minor first aid at the scene.
   
  No criminal charges were filed. No occupant information was collected during the investigation.
