RedactedNarrative: V1 was attempting to leave a sandbar and when the operator of V1 accelerated to take off there was a loud pop out of the back of the engine. The operator observed a large flame coming from the engine and V1 spun around and ran back up on the sandbar. The operator and two passengers exited the vessel and got far enough away for safety and watched as the motor and back of the boat became engulfed in flames. Once the passengers were off he grabbed the fire extinguisher and pulled the safety pin and squeezed the extinguisher in an attempt to put out the flame. 
  -	The fire extinguisher would not work and by this time the flames had intensified to the point where all three individuals had to retreat to a safer distance and watched as the vessel burned.
