V1 was traveling east into Trident Marina to dock his vessel at the service dock. The operator of V1 was having trouble getting his vessel to the service dock. He kept making maneuvers to dock. V2 was sitting in a covered boat slip on a HydroHoist lift. V2 was not in use and no one was on aboard. V1 had gotten over toward V2. V1 gave his boat throttle to make a hard right hand turn to avoid V2 but struck V2 on the lift.



V1 struck V2 with the starboard side of his vessel. V2 was struck in the stern and engine portion. This caused V2 to slide around on the lift it was sitting on. It came to rest on a brace that helps support the HydroHoist lift on the port side of the vessel. 



The operator of V1 told the marina workers that he had just hit a boat while trying to dock. There were no injuries.
