Ever tried to put out a fiberglass boat fire??? Not easy. I watched one burn out front this past Summer, Water Patrol guys were spraying it down with their outboards, It helped, but it burnt to the water line.
By the way, sad to se that go up in flames. I hope no one was injured.

so this clearly happened during mid summer because there’s no chance this is a recent event since the harbor master guys are wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts.

Once the fire gets that big the boat is a write off at that point, no reason for anyone to try to save it/put it out while wearing shorts/t shirts.

I believe Dan from OL was trying to sell it in the OSO classifieds this summer. I think it was a a 47 with 1075s.

Do fire suppression systems offer little help in these situations? Most have them, no?
