   Wow! That's my lake! I do not recall ever seeing those guys or that boat on the lake. It is private, and pictures of it on the trailer point towards a local resident "putting in" at the ramp, which is guarded by police and surveillance cameras!
I would guess a fuel leak unnoticed and an ignition at "throttle" up? I hope they caught all the residue, as this is one of the cleanest spring fed lakes in the state. Glad they were all ok, could have been different.

	My experience is it just pops up a bit. If they had time to go back for the boards I am guessing a fire extinguisher could have saved it... or they mighta died trying.

	Sounds like they were very lucky not to get hurt. Interesting that the guy on the engine box was thrown rather than getting a behind full of fiery fiberglass. I wonder if there is any engine explosion testing done on inboards? I guess since the engine box is hinged and not latched it would flip up rather than trying to contain the blast. DD or V-Drive. V-Drive would probably be better.
