Doesn't look that bad. A little 5200 here and there and some fresh paint and they'll be good to go!
just saw it on the news at 5. drove over there. pretty ugly.
The Marine FF's and especially the TowBoat US Capt. did a great job protecting the other exposures. It could have been way worse.

scary stuff!
They did a great job pulling her away from the MICABE (the yellow hull). We are going down tomorrow to see how much damage she sustained. If towboat would have been a few minutes later, she would have been alot worse.
franky, looked like more than 1 boat was on fire, any word on that???
Looks like 2 boats the lisa K and the Kathy Jo

The fire started on the Lisa K and quickly spread to the Bertram to the left of it and also charred the side of the other Bertram next to that one. I'm told there was additional heat damage to several other boats as well. Could have been a lot worse with the wind here today. My hats off to the guy with the big balls driving the Towboat US cat. He's the hero in this very unfortunate situation. I sail fished next to Lisa K several times this year. She was a beautiful ride by Island Boatworks. Glad everyone is OK.
