You need to ventilate your boat after refueling to disperse any build-up of flammable fumes - especially petrol (diesel is less dangerous). Any petrol fumes sinking into the bilges could be ignited by a spark from an electrical switch, or when smoking.

Unusually nothing happens. BUT a build-up of fumes is possible under the right conditions. That along with an ignition source (engine starter motor etc..) can cause a catastrophic explosion. Use the blower while fueling and before starts IAW your owners manual.
When you do not ventilate your boat after fueling what happens to the gas fumes?
The boat could blow up. Gasoline fumes are very explosive. That is why boats are required by law to have ventilation for the engine room. If there are fumes and there is a spark from something electrical then the boat could explode. Always ventilate after fueling for at least 4 minutes, and make sure that electrical equipment on the boat is UL listed as ignition protected. That means it won't ignite any gas fumes. Always check for fumes with your nose before starting the engine.
