Default Boat fire @ LOTO

The boat that caught fire was a 48MTI that had a TURBINE MARINE engine explode and set the boat on fire.

We saw their last pass as we were idling out from the races...My son noticed the smoke but you couldn't see what boat was involved... Too bad it was a very good looking boat....

Default Might be time to think about a different turbine guy

There has to be a better way to stay in business than sabotaging peoples dreams.

Default Just sayin

Just sayin-there are no success stories from there that don't involve having to repeatedly coming back.of course I hope everyone was ok-stuff like this is devastating to the owners-hopefully they see the light
