Can’t tell if it started in rear near the engine but center/front lit up real good

Wow
If anyone was trapped below they didn’t have much chance of survival.

I’m a journeyman ship wright.
I know how to build and operate pleasure craft.
This was classic case of idiocy.
You always put “Sniffers” and explosion proof
ventilation in your bilges.
I had a propane leak once sniffer shut it down and it took 4 hours to get the propane cleared out.
I had barbecue that day(open air).

Viewed at ¼ speed. Looked toward the rear.

Below decks filled with gqsoline fumes.

Looks like they were casting off and someone started the engine before running the blowers for a good while first.

The fire was caused by an accumulation of gas in the bilge. It’s identifiable by the way the boat separated in the explosion.
