RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated:
       We were cruising around by Hopatcong State park.  When I came into the "No Wake" zone at Landing channel and came down in speed, I noticed that the engine was smoking.  It was a lot of smoke.  I was able to get the boat to my dock and put the fire out with my fire extinguisher.  No one was injured and we got everyone off the boat.
