The boat had been operated for approximately 5 minutes before the engine died down there was an explosion in the engine area. The fire burned out, but there was extensive damage.

OP1 had a mild burn on his right elbow and occupant had some scratches. The kids were wearing their life jackets, but the adults did not.
