Someone spent the night of 9/10 - 9/11 on it and turned on the heat
in the aft cabin.
They left a pillow laying on the heater and the inevitable happened.
The boat has no
structural damage, but the aft cabin is gutted, and the whole interior
is smoke and heat
damaged and the insurance company totaled it. The only good thing
that has happened
is that it was bought from the insurance company by a guy in Chicago
who has a boat
yard and it looks like he is going to restore it. His name is Paul
Rentner, he's a member
of MBOA national."
