The boat was an outboard. No bilge.
To: BenLurkin
it doesnt say how long they had been underway but it seems if it was fumes in the bilge, it would have exploded upon or shortly after ignition.

No No, not true. Self bailing cock pit and most definitely a bilge on that boat. Where do you think the gas tanks are?

How many trauma centers did they have to fly the victims past to get them to Tampa? Probably taken to the Burn Center at Tampa General. There is a burn center in Miami, which would've been closer, but it may have been full already.

El wrongo mighty one. Bilge is defined as an enclosed portion of a boat. It must be accessible from a hatch and able to ventilate from a fan and have a pump.
Ive owned 2 Bertha s and a Carolina whaler. Self draining open transoms are not bilges.
To: DownInFlames
Oh my, so knowledgeable, this el wrongo knows when she's been beat. You've owned 3 whole boats!! I guess all those “boats” back in the old days before modern motors didn't have bilges. And the ships I've assisted inspecting that have doorways and ladder/stairs don't have bilges, whew - who knew?
I never mentioned “open transoms” and just because a vessel has a self draining cock pit does not mean it doesn't have a bilge. But your 3 boat ownership certainly trumps my 200 gross ton unlimited masters ticket!
I could go on but I'm not in the mood, I don't like to use sarcasm but you started it.
P.S. 50 years experience boating, working, racing on the water.
