RedactedNarrative: The listed operator/owner of veh #1 was underway southbound within the hillsborough river approximately 50 feet from the shoreline of the lowry park boat ramp traveling less then 10 knots through the idle speed zone. 
  
  Veh #1 unexpectedly had a loss of engine power thus causing no propulsion. The operator/owner made several attempts to restart the i/o engine with negative results. 
  
  During a follow-on attempt, the covered engine area made a loud pop and then caught fire. The fire quickly spread throughout the cabin of the boat such that the operator was unable to attempt to contain it the fire and jumped from the vessel into the water and swam to shore. The vessel became fully engulfed in flames, but drifted towards the dock at which point trf responded and was able to appropriately extinguish the fire. The operator/owner sustained no injuries as a result of the incident and the vessel although a total loss remained afloat. the vessel was later retrailered and safely removed from the water.
