Dang! Anyone know what's the story of these blue matching boats?...seems like I've seen pics of 3-4 different boats with this paint scheme.

Was that a Midnight Express?

Sucks it sunk but a guy got killed prepping a brand new boat for that show:The man who died Friday when a 50-foot boat caught fire as it was being fueled was a technician who worked at the Dania Beach marina and a husband and a father of three.

Benjamin Berestovoy, known to family as Benny, was originally from Encarnación in Paraguay, relative Johnny Castro told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Monday. He maintained boats and yachts at Nautical Ventures Marina and Service Center.

Sabotage from competitor?
if I am not mistaken, it happened last year too...
What are the odds, of having a boat sink at the dock, each year, when they are brand new
and in the water for only a couple days ... !!! ???
And I would guess it did not go under during the day, right?

I don't remember anything from last year, but this was the 51' Outerlimits that sank years back at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show.
