There's personal information here that doesn't lead to resolving important details. It is unknown if the alleged operator has yet been interviewed or charged with anything related to the circumstances.

Possible charges so far:

Failure to keep a proper watch,
Failure to observe the 150' rule,
Failure to report an accident within 10 days,
Leaving the scene of an accident (without injuries),
Entering a designated swimming area while under power,

Are any of these felonies? (BWI/"Operating under the influence" remains unproven

ETA:

On occasion, my Smartphone surprises me with "Google Photos", where they play relaxing music and print photos with: "Look at what you were enjoying in 2017"...

So...the latest Google display shows a bright red float, a float-outlined swimming area, a dock, a pumpkin-colored boat cover atop a long wooden boat.

If I'd been paying more attention to the view--than to lunch--I would have witnessed (maybe even heard) this collision.

If the HackerCraft had been docked on the same side as pictured on "Google Photos", the 50-foot Searay would've entered the float-outlined swimming area first!
