Procedure
I was in a congested area and started to taxi and can see nothing in front of me in a Stearman tail wheel aircraft. You need a little speed to S turn and just as I got that speed and started to S turn I collided with Aircraft Y that was parked. I slammed on [the] brakes but too late; minor damage to the Stearman. I will need a new propeller and minor [damage] to Aircraft Y; it will need a new stabilator. Lesson learned I will always use an aircraft marshaller with a Stearman in a small congested area.
Pilot reported taxiing in a congested area resulted in a collision with a parked aircraft where both aircraft were damaged.
