Very lucky that was the only damage caused. We have a good collision at least once a year here. A guy that works at the plant i'm at was catfishing out in the main river channel on a very foggy morning. Had another boat collide with his in the fog. Broken pelvis, legs, and a plethora of other injuries. He would have died if he didn't have the automatic deployment vest on. Another reason to never skimp on your PFDs!
