A boat that burst into flames in Mindarie Marina on Tuesday morning has caught fire for a second time while dry-docked in Hillarys.
The fire re-ignited this morning, just after 6am. It is believed the 15-metre boat may have still been smouldering when it was docked, and consequently caused an estimated further $20,000 in damage.
