V1 was either docking or leaving the area and struck V2 in the port bow area causing damage to the aluminum siding of the deck area of the pontoon boat 
	On 4/25/23 at approximately 11:30am I met with RP at the location of the incident. Upon my arrival RP was on his vessel at the location where it was struck. I verified RP. I obtained his registration and insurance paperwork. The vessel, is a 2017 Regal pontoon boat that was in like new condition showing a clearly damaged area to the port bow area, indicative of damage made by another vessel attempting to leave or dock at the space ahead of the vessel. RP stated that sometime during the night on 4/22-4/23 a person at the marina struck his vessel and he found his vessel damaged on the morning of 4/23.
	There were no vessels close by and I inquired at the marina if the cameras that are positioned to view the area, caught the action. The marina manager stated that the cameras on their property are not functioning as a recording device, only as a viewing device. A further canvas of the area did not reveal any additional cameras that would have caught the activity.
	Due to no additional information available, patrol efforts were suspended.
