I suspect that his car is not used for public transport nor monetary gain, unlike that speedboat was.

My guess is fuel and a spark... but not in the engine.

Looking at the amount of damage to the boat, those passengers and crew are incredibly lucky there were no fatalities.

Captain Somchai forgot to ventilate the engine room. Common lack of a routine job on a speed boat.

Outboard motors don't need much ventilation.
