Who sells a boat like that on Craigslist? You might as well put it in the Penny Saver, too.

Wow what a shame, glad to hear no one got hurt!

Is it me, or are there an awful lot of tragedies happening with boats burning lately, especially skaters...

Have these boats had the tanks redone?

I was thinking about this the other day....the tanks could be leaking causing fuel to go into the bilge...I'm not insinuating but I was thinking about this, this is exactly the problems that were supposedly going to happen if you didn't replace the original tanks in the Skaters....I only say this because in recent light of the accidents happening with Fire, and Skaters in the same sentence...they all seem to be older boats as well..

Just a thought...and my .02 c

I'm sure this will start a sh!t storm :whistle:

WildThing47 04-23-2012 02:36 PM

I'm sure it will, but that wasn't the intention. I'm just saying...there was a big issue about the tanks, now boats are exploding.

Who knows...

First thing I do after I remove the cockpit cover is raise the hatch, check oil in both engines and look around the bilge.
