Doesn't look like anyone was hurt....

1 year old 34' Cuddy Triple 275 Verrados just repowered (2 months ago) from 225 4-stroke Yamahas.

Yep, There's one at my marina, and from looking closely, they make a fine, quality boat.

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Man that's ugly. :(

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Cuda, I believe they make it the std way also. I personally like the way they look, throw a little paint on their, and Im sure it will take away from that humped up section. One of the finest center console at the Miami show, I was really impressed.

Can't remember ever seeing an outboard go up in flames like that...

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

I dunno, I can't watch the video and I haven't spoken to Wylie yet. The boat was recently serviced at a marina that I don't know.

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Why are all 3 of the engines tilted up??

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Jeff, I meant the fire, not the boat. I like Yellowfins.

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Looks like a cigarette cuz its covered in ash.

Good Question!

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Perhaps the fire welded some wires together going to the trim buttons? Or the owner was trying to figure out what was going on before the fire spread through out the boat? My guess. Dave

Re: Yellowfin Burns in the Bay !!!
 

Also looks like the anchor is out - line extending out from the bow.

Probably fishing, or maybe realized something was amiss and stopped to check it out.

Very sad. :(
