Damn. That's bad. Thanks for the 'heads up'. That's the second boat in about 3 years to burn and drop to the bottom in Tiger Mullet.

It was a Grand Banks apparently.

Fire has destroyed a 10-metre motor cruiser off south Stradbroke Island near Brisbane.
The two boat owners tried frantically to extinguish the blaze around 10.30am AEST, but the heat was too intense and they had to abandon ship in Tiger Mullet Channel.
The Grand Banks cruiser burned to the waterline before police towed the vessel to a nearby island where it sank.
A 50-year-old man suffered smoke inhalation and minor burns to his thigh and was taken to Logan Hospital.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A skipper has been seriously burned after climbing aboard his blazing boat in an ultimately futile attempt to prevent it being destroyed by fire.
The blaze started aboard the 9.6m fibreglass boat in the Tiger Mullet Channel, off Queensland's Stradbroke Island, about 11am today.
The boat's skipper and his wife were aboard another vessel when they noticed smoke billowing from 'Jessica'.
The skipper boarded 'Jessica', and burned his hands and feet as he tried in vain to put out the blaze, a Queensland Police spokesperson said.
"The boat then burned to the waterline and sunk," the spokesperson said.
The skipper was transported to Gold Coast Hospital where he was being treated for second degree burns to his feet and hands, and smoke inhalation.
His wife was also being treated for smoke inhalation.
