who cares as long as he makes it right.
This unfortunate incident lends itself to the question of when are those involved required to file a USCG accident report. There is a minimum damage repair cost threshold for this kind of accident, but depending where one checks, there are differences in what that threshold amount actually is.
Here are the 1st 3 declarations of threshold figures I found .
$500 federal requirement deferring to lower typical individual state minimum of $100-$200 if stipulated. http://www.acemarineinsurance.com/N...DD-979BD3DA7C7C/0/boating_accident_report.pdf
Federal $2000 , deferring to state whichevr is lower

$2000 : http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/012599tip.htm
$25,000 : http://www.uscg.mil/d13/msuportland/io_report.asp Item #7.
$25,000 : http://www.uscg.mil/forms/cg/CG_2692.pdf This doesn't specifically say just for commercial vessels, just "vessels" , but that likely may be the case.
Hogan- Since the other operator was kind enough to wait and let you come to him to broach the subject of damage caused by him, it might have been interesting to see his face if you had gone to him and said you just wanted to drop off a copy of that last form for him to fill out since you had already filed yours. Glad it seems to be working out OK.
