Undersheriff Jon Zerby sent in these photos of a boat damaged in an explosion at Roche Harbor Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Boaters are reminded to ventilate engine compartments after fueling and before starting up.

This would be the alternative definition of " INTERNAL COMBUSTION "

He just wanted a wider beam. Looks like he gained about 6 inches on each side. Will just need a little bigger bilge pump to handle the seepage from those cracks on the side of the transom.

Seeing the damage, I bet the boat is totaled. I would not feel safe in that boat knowing it was stressed to the point of breaking. Too many seams, joints, etc have been pushed to the breaking point. I think it would be imposable to properly repair it.
