I come home @ 8:30 pm tonight to notice a big bonfire in my backyard. I look over the fence to see my boat on fire. As I hurdle the 6 foot privacy fence to get to the hose to try and put out the fire myself I tell the wife to call the fire dept. They came and finished putting it out. Because there was no outboard, gas, or battery on the boat they think a neighbor threw a cigarette and it landed on the cover. Not to mention all the butts around the boat and we don't smoke.
Anyways to my question. Its only a few hours later and all I can think of is will my old trusty boat float again? It has some smoke stains and the interior needs new floors seats and all the wiring will need redone, but should the hull be ok to rebuild on? I did see a small amount of warping which looks to be above the water line. What exactly should I look for? Of course I have not seen it in the daylight yet so there may be a huge hole somewhere but I have not seen it yet.
Its a 1989 tracker pf16 and I use a 15 horse motor on it. Thanks guys.
