This formula style racing boat had just cleared the no wake zone from the cove and put the "petal to the metal" so to speak when he realized smoke was coming from the engine compartment. He shut down the engine, opened the hatch and flames erupted engulfing the boat. He jumped overboard, swam away and was picked up by another boater who transported him to the nearby water patrol boat who was on the scene quickly.

Apparently the SOP for boat fires on the lake of the Ozarks is to let her burn and sink to the bottom which is exactly what happened.

Imagine the conversation with the wife when he took a Uber back to the condo. "Hey hun I had a little problem with the boat". "What.... where is the boat", "um about 100 feet down at mile marker 20".
