i was going to ask the same thing, and also why didnt he sell the boat or the money or why didnt the loan shark take that from him as well as his van??
It was pathetic hilarious over-the-top unrealism. I go sailing - this was just so pathetic. Where was his lifejacket & emergency whistle? It was only a diddy little boat & I thought the portrayal of his 'drowning' was hysterically funny.
Good riddance - terrible character, terrible acting in a storyline full of holes.
