Operator #1 was pulling a kneeboarder behind her pontoon boat. She was attempting to communicate with the party on the kneeboard. She looked forward after the communication and saw that she was about to strike a boat (WC #2) parked on a boat lift. She did not want to go in reverse and hit the kneeboarder, so she placed the motor in neutral and struck the boat. She attempted to contact the homeowner, but no one came to the door. She then went back to her residence to calm down. The owner of WC #2 had called the Sheriff's Office and the deputy arrived at Operator #1's residence. Operator #1 said she would go to Owner #2's residence and give them her contact information. Life jackets were not being worn on WC #1 and alcohol was not a factor. There was damage to WC #1, WC #2 and the boat lift.
