Default Boat Fire 50 Hwy MO

There was a Wellcraft Scarab on fire on 50 Hwy headed to LOTTO... any body knows who's it was? Wonder what started a fire on the trailer going down the road!

Didn't hear about it but it could have been a wheel bearing that went south and they didn't notice it? I've heard of them catching fire before so that could have happened.

Bearing would be my guess as well. Catch the tires on fire and up she goes.

Default Not wheel bearing !

Well I dont think it was a wear bearing. If anyone knows whos boat this is there are some good parts left on it. I sure hate to see a boat of any kind end its boating life like this. Sorry for who evers boat this is. I would not wish this on anybody!

This boat looks familiar. I swear I've seen it here on OSO. Definitely not a bearing. Something would appear to have shorted out in the engine compartment. What a shame.
