On October 24, 2023, I, Game Warden was called about a boating incident that happened at Trade Winds marina due to a houseboat (Vessel 1) losing power to one engine. Vessel 1 was being moved to WildWoods Park boat ramp to be pulled out of the water for scheduled maintenance. I arrived at Wildwoods at 0945 with Game Warden. The owner of vessel 1 stated upon leaving the docking space at Trade Winds exiting the marina one engine had lost power causing the port side stern to make contact to the stern of another docked houseboat (Vessel 2) causing damage to both vessels. Vessel 1 had damage to both rear port side windows and the Fiberglass around the windows. Vessel 2 had damage to the railing, and the anchoring winch mounted to the floor located at the stern of the vessel.
