The operator of vessel 1 was attempting to leave the boat club docks when he experienced mechanical issues with the boat. After stalling and restarting the vessel, the operator engaged the throttle which caused the boat to accelerate quickly; the operator reported he was unable to pull the throttle back and struck two docked boats in the vicinity. Vessel 1 first rode up onto the stern of vessel 2, leaving no apparent damage, and then slid back into vessel 3. The collision with vessel 3 caused gel coat and swim deck damage reportedly in the amount of $4,000.00. There was no one on board vessel 2 and vessel 3, and no injuries resulted from this incident.
