RedactedNarrative: V1 caught on fire and burnt to the water line.
  
  V1 a 22' Fish Master Center console vessel with 2 people onboard including operator and a K9 was attempting to go to the beach on the south end of Cayo Costa Island.
  
  As Operator1 decelerated the vessel to idle speed to go to the beach he and his daughter could smell burning rubber coming from the center console of the vessel. Operator1 opened the hatch door to the console, but saw no sign of a fire. Operator1 then noticed an inspection port at the stern of the vessel was sagging in as if it was melting. He attempted to open it but it was too hot.
  
  Once he realized the vessel had a fire below deck. He throttled the vessel closer to shore. He had his daughter jump in and throw the dog into the water. Operator1 then tossed the anchor overboard and entered in knee deep water.
  
  Operator1 stated that once they walked onto the beach and looked back at the vessel, it was fully engulfed.
  
  Marine Law Enforcement and Fire/Rescue arrived on scene within a few minutes. The fire was extinguished just above the water line as it drifted south towards Captiva Pass.  Operator1, his daughter and the family dog were taken by FWC and the Cayo Costa Park Ranger to the ranger station by UTV and then taken to Pineland Marina on Pine Island by FWC.
  
  The vessel was recovered by TowBoat US and taken to Lavender's Landing boat ramp where to owner of the vessel was able to remove the vessel from water.
  
  While speaking to the owner and Operator1, I was advised that they recently had installed a new Jack-Plate for the motor and replaced the bilge pump with a larger one.
