It wasn't somebody driving a Hi-Performance boat! The helmsman at the controls of the USCG Patrol Boat was WRONG!
It was actually a USCG Auxilliary boat according to a post on another forum. The USCG crew footage was spliced in by the media. Apparently, the USCG Auxilliary in that area is not very selective... Note the flopping fenders hanging off the starboard side prior to the collision too.
