If it helps I feel the boat would have been totaled out the first time by your insurance anyway. After looking at the damage the boat would need a major going thru to get back to the way you had it. Sorry it happened, everyone is safe, its a boat ....

+1 they do the same in my state,chit if their were a fire on a house the first thing the fire men do is call the electric company and gas company to disconnect all power and gas,,no differant with a motorized vehicle..

What a sad unfortunate end to such a great old boat. somewhere in the back of my mind something doesn't pass the smell test with this deal. I think the marina is partially responsible for the first fire. The likelihood of the second fire starting days later is extremely suspicious to me.
If you can...consider getting a sharp lawyer involved in this deal...I think there is compensation due you from the marina and possibly the repair yard.

What did the repair shop do wrong?

Just brought this up at the coffee table here at the station, fire was in the bilge of a 292 formula, chances of one of us climbing into a semi burned boat to cut the cables are slim to none. If it had been a 292 fastech I'm pretty sure most guys couldn't find the batteries. In an MVA we cut them to minimize the chance of an airbag deployment or possible short from a ruptured battery. In a boat fire any that we've had the batteries are melted by the time it's out so there's no point. Hate to be a bus driver but that may be considered a "rekindle" and the department / incident commander would have some liability.
