Allegedly, he perished in the sea of Cortez. Ran out of fuel (3 hours into the
trip) and suffered a leaking bilge and inoperable pump.
His trailer vehicle (a faded red 1982 Ford F150) was found, but scrapped due to
its condition from thousands of miles dragging a water logged BL'er to the
closest boat ramp.
Sadly, this was the final voyage for him before he collected a check from a
local attorney for $30,000 for the boat.
The impressive vessel - capable of sleeping 12 people - and cruising at 32 knots
with a 140 HP I/O will be forever lost.
Let's hope we can still count him in for a vote for GW...

One of the casting locations was Wichita, Kansas. Wonder if Dave Mann
showed up in full Bayliner regalia...
