Vessel 1 lost mechanical power and drifted into vessel 2 where there was damage done to the bow from vessel 1 T-top rod holders.
Vessel 1s operator was towed off vessel 2 by a Jet ride employee who was unable to get any information from the operator.  When I responded to the Manatee Marina in the Manatee pocket, I was met by vessel 2s manager. I was informed that people were able to identify the operator of striking vessel 1.
 I traveled where I met OP1 there and introduced myself. I then explained that I was there in reference to a collision between two vessels the morning before. OP1 explained that he was operating his vessel when his engine died and then collided with vessel 2 after drifting. He also mentioned that he did not observe damage, so he left and made no effort to get in contact with the owner of the vessel. The damage I observed that occurred to vessel 2 was concurrent with the story told by both the Jet ride employee and OP1.
