ON 6/4/09 AT ABOUT 1500HRS V1 WAS TRAVELING EAST ON SAGUARO LAKE AT ABOUT 25 TO 30MPH. IN THE MAIN BAY NEAR CAMPERS COVE THE OPERATOR MOVED THE THROTTLE BACK TO SLOW DOWN WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD BACKFIRE IN THE VESSELS ENGINE. A FEW SECONDS LATER FIRE ERUPTED FROM THE ENGINE AND EVERYONE JUMPED FROM THE VESSEL INTO THE WATER. ALL OCCUPANTS OF V1 WERE PICKED UP BY A PASSING BOATER, AND THEY WERE DELIVERED SAFELY TO SHORE. V1 BECAME FULLY ENGULFED UN FLAME AND SANK. NOTHING FURTHER.
