I have a bit of new information. A witness tracked me down on facebook and added these details:
"Was a pretty new contender, approximately 30ft or so with a middle aged male and female on board. After they struck you, they moved south of you and started drifting east for about a 1/4 mile, then they turned off their navigation lights and that was the last I saw of them"
"Definitely a newer contender, if I had to guess no more than 4yrs old.he went up and kinda over your stern"
…sheeeesh! From the pic of the smashed Port side, smashed transom live well, smashed off outboard cover it looked like he went right through and over you.
Wow incredible damage just amazing you didn't get hurt or worse. Seems like they should find this guy quickly and lock his ass up . Start looking for a good attorney and you'll own his house and have a new boat.

Oh man great news!
There has been a lot of chatter about this in montauk so I figured it wouldn't take long to find the guy! Since moving to Long Island I have learned it's a pretty small island amongst boaters.
Keep us posted and I hope for a positive result for you.
Great News!!! I wonder what's worse, leaving the scene of an accident where the people may have been injured or killed and need assistance to survive or getting a DWI? I think this guy is toast!!!
