RedactedNarrative: According to the owner/operator, V1 had just been de-winterized and all the fluids had been topped off supposedly.  He said he pulled away from the dock and after going about a mile, the engine began to cut out.  He also said the temperature gauge maxed out so he stopped.  When he raised the engine compartment he saw smoke and fire coming from the engine.  He said the smoke was too thick and the fire spreading too fast to locate the fire extinguisher so he grabbed his cell phone and a life jacket and jumped overboard. 
  
  A passing boat picked him up and returned him to the dock at Brady Mtn. When we arrived on scene V1 was fully engulfed in flames.  Fire personnel arrived and extinguished what was left of V1. Due to extent of the fire, officers were unable to determine the exact cause but improper de-winterization and maintenance is suspected.
