$1 Dollar Boat With A4

Hi guys. My new to me $1 Hughes 38 ran great until it started to puke out oil somewhere?? Now it completely emptied itself into the bilge. Unfortunately the engine is basically in the bilge so it is impossible to see the bottom. Ya ya the most expensive boat is a free boat but she still is one sexy girl to me.

She is useable but a project for sure. My priority is to make her water tight and deal with core and delamination issues on the coach roof.

NCS, If it makes you feel any better, I paid a whole $20 for mine.

Ah, the classic lines of the Hughes 38..might the largest boat I can think of with an Atomic 4 in it.

You know what? It does push her along just fine! Even in the slop and chop. She is narrow and easily driven for a 38 thought.
