Unfortunately I believe someone lost their life today on lake in boat explosion. We slip at Formula Boats by the Grand Glaize and while cleaning our boat after coming off lake we heard a loud boom and a bit later I could smell something burning. 4 persons on board with 3 making it off boat and early word was 4h was found in engine compartment though divers were on scene. Boat ended up on bank by the furthest dock out coming into Formula and Osage Beach fire was extinguishing it from land. Prelim article out on Lake Expo.

Accident report shows 1 did not survive. Hate to see that already this season. Be careful out there.
