Every time it's been for sale the ask has been stupid money.

That is the boat, what I meant was does anyone have pics of that boat back in the day as the Popeye's boat. I would like to see it in the glory days.

I would like to know if the hull ( bottom) is any diffrent then the HAWK or other 38's from that era ??!!!

Nope.

I thought the 39's were stretched 36's and the 38 were different. The bottoms could be the same.
BTW, thanks for the pic.

The 40's were stretched 36's.....all widebodies.

The 35 X 8 was stretched to 39 and then that mold was blocked down to a 37.6 and the Ajac Hawk was pulled out of that. Years later when the movie Top Gun came out, they grabbed the name and used it for the 37.6.

And the name works even today

Thanks! I got my 36 and 35 mixed up. I knew they put the raised "step" in the rubrail so the tail would not be under water when idle.
