RedactedNarrative: Driver of V1 stated that he had just put his boat in the water for the first time and was cruising around Cooper Slough to make sure everything was good on it.
  
  Driver of V1 then advised that as he was easing back to his dock, his boat floated to a stop and wouldn't start. Driver 1 then opened the engine compartment of his boat at which time flames immediately consumed the rear of the vessel before moving forward. 
  
  Driver stated that the flames were too hot to get close to in an attempt to put out. Driver 1 jumped from the boat and swam to shore to keep from getting burned. It is Driver 1''s opinion that he thinks the alternator belt came off causing the motor to over heat and catch fire. Driver 1 didn't sustain any injuries. Driver 1 is getting someone to come get the pontoons. V1 is secured against the shoreline of Driver 1''s property.
