On August 22, 2023, Vessel one and vessel two were docked unattended at the Davis Island Boat Ramp for a couple hours.  The owner retured to the boat ramp and both vessels had startboard side damage.  No one has come forward to accept responsiblity.
On September 13, 2023, I met with RP at Tug's RV and Boat Storage in Tampa, to discuss a boating accident involving his two pwc's that were struck by an unknown vessel at Davis Island Boat Ramp.
I arrived on scene and spoke to RP.  RP stated that on August 22, 2023, he docked his two pwc's at Davis Island Boat Ramp in Tampa.  His vessel's were tied up to the southern floating dock.  RP stated that he launched the vessels with his brother in law at approximately 5pm.  RP left the vessels in the water when they realized that they left the life jackets at home.  RP's girlfriend left the scene to retrieve the life jacket.  During that time RP and his brother in law went to the dog beach next to the boat ramp and set up a hammock.  Approximately two hours later, RP, stated he returned to the dock noticed both of his PWC's had damage to the starboard side.  
I photographed the vessels on scene and obtained a witness statement. Both vessels had rear starboard damage that was estimated to be at least 2000 dollars.  
I contacted Tampa Police Department dispatch and they stated that they had no one call in that day stating that they were involved in a vessel accident.
