V1 collides with a fixed object (boat lift).  

V1 accelerates forward after colliding with fixed object and collides with seawall.  

	The occupant of V1 gave a written statement claiming he was at the stern of V1 and saw the cowling of the port side engine strike a boat lift. He clarified V1 did not strike any vessel on a boat lift.  

 	Based on witness statements, physical evidence, and the totality of the circumstances the investigation revealed that while OP1 operated V1, the starboard engine cowling struck a fixed boat lift causing damage to the cowling but no damage to the boat lift.  In addition, OP1 kept both engines turned to port, and throttled forward with excessive speed causing V1 to strike anther fixed object; the combined sea wall at the residences of XXXth St. Ocean.
