Just got back from the hospital and man this sucks! My little fishing buddy TheBoatOrMe!!! kicked the bucket two hours ago. Guess the mods cant reprimand him anymore and he wont be able to hurt anymore feelings around here.:( I told him not to chase bacon grease with crown royal followed by a marlboro side car.

He had a massive heart attack yesterday out fishing with his 4 year old daughter. Good thing he taught her how to run the boat because she got the boat back to the marina...so I'm told and somebody called 911. Didn't matter though:mad:

He was an absolute genius with everything but his health. Cursed with the worst case of sarcasm I've ever beheld and 100% full of BS. He was very gifted as a mechanical engineer getting his degree at the ripe age of 20. He hated the office and he was quite fond of outboards, yamis in particular, so he became a tech. He refused to contribute to the yamaha forum, he said that rodbolt pretty much had it covered........ and he was prone to scalding stupidity. He preferred to make bs posts just to see what came out the on the other end.

Crazy though! Back in high school he jumped out of our friends' dads airplane with no chute on a bet. That jump earned him 3900 bucks which we blew down in vegas. That was an insane weekend:D

He made the coolest motor I've ever seen. He called it "the outhouse". It was his rendition of an outboard hybrid with parts from all kinds of motors fitted with an electric blower. He even glassed a cowl that fit the abomination. If I get a hold of any pictures of this thing, I will post them. That motor killed a few props. 35! You have got to be kidding me!

See ya on the lake buddy.

Smart girl to get the boat back at 4. Hopefully she'll be too young to tally remember the incident.

35 is waaay too young.

I am very, very sorry to hear this horrible news. I'm know his family and friends are devestated. What a horrible thing for his daughter to have to go through.

My deepest condolences to you and all those who loved him. I'm really at a loss for words right now.

That is a sad story. I guess according to his name, the boat won. The upside of this is that he died doing what he liked. Hopefully the little girl will get over this in time.

I had a friend who died in his 30s from the same habits. Massive Heart Attack. Longtime smoker and greasy/salty food eater. A killer combo!
Sorry for your loss. People can hopefully learn from it and save lives and/or extend them
