Seven boaters including a kid of five were injured as a seven meter Sea Ray sport cruiser exploded on Landshark Cove near Margaritaville, Lake Lanier, Georgia on around 19:00 of Friday fourth July. Hall County Fire Department responded to the assistance as five people were taken to hospital; one of which air lifted, and two were treated on the scene with minor injuries. The fire were controlled thanks to the assistance of the Gainesville Fire’s Marine Rescue boat. The boat skipper later reported having trouble in starting the Sea Ray cruiser and on the third attempt it exploded.
The Sea Ray in this explosion and subsequent fire is a 220 Sundancer as produced from 1989 to 1992. The smallest Sundancer ever made the 220 DA was a replacement to the 230 Weekender, and was replaced by the Sea Ray 230 Sundancer.
