Oak Point Boat Ramp

Oak Point Boat Ramp - 05/16/22 08:11 PM

Was talking to my ex neighbors that live in Oak Point. Said they heard a loud boom from the boat ramp area. They went over to investigate and this is what they saw. They did not know what caused the boat to explode. My guess is someone failed to turn on the blower before starting the inboard.

Hope that the people in the boat got out safely.

Check them bilges, the nose knows. Drilled into me from very early on.

Glad no one was injured. Remove the engine, gas and oil, would have been good structure.
