RedactedNarrative: On 5/30/22 at approximately 7:00pm, a boating incident occurred on lake norman t blythe landing boat ramp,  the striking vessel is vessel 2.  The vessel was operated by the owner at the time of the incident.  Her nephew was on the vessel at the time of the incident.  Operator2 was backing out of a slip trying to avoid rocks, pylons, vessels and people.  She thought she was far enough back to avoid obstacles at the bow end of the boat.  She tried to slowly shift forward but pushed the throttle too far.  The front starboard side of her vessel then struck the engine of a vessel docked in a slip.
  
  Operator2 and occupant had been out on the lake with other people on the vessel.  They were returning to blythe landing to drop off passengers at their vehicles.  After all other passengers had departed, operator2 was planning to leave blythe landing and take her boatr back to the marina she launched from with occupant.  Operator2 was in a slip where there were many obstacles including rocks on the shoreline, pylons, the dock, other vessels, and swimmers.  Once she thought the bow end of the boat was clear from all obstructions, she tried to slowly shift to forward.  As she was doing this, she accidentally went too far with the throttle, which caused her to go forward at a faster speed than anticipated.  Her vessel was traveling below 10 mph upon impact.  The front starboard side of her vessel then struck a docked vessel.  
  
  The vessel struck was a pontoon vessel, vessel 1.  At the time of the incident, v1 owner was off the vessel retrieving his vehicle and boat trailer to load his vessel.  His son was sitting on the docked vessel at the time of the incident.  No one was injured as a result of the collision.  The initial analysis of operator2's vessel revealed that the front starboard side of the vessel had cosmetic damage including dents and scratches in the aluminum railing around the deck and to the starboard side of the pontoon.  The vessel sustained damage to the outboard motor including tearing the cowling and causing possible engine damage to be assessed.  There did not appear to be any notable damage to the hull of v1 owner's vessel.
  
  Operator2 was attempting to take precautions while maneuvering her vessel, but when shifting to forward, she pushed the throttle forward too much.  She then struck v1 owner's vessel with the front starboard side of her vessel striking the engine of his vessel.  No one was charged as a result of this incident.
