I have a friend in Topeka that has the last hull made I believe. It was apparently the 38 hull the owner made for himself, but never rigged it. My buddy bought it un-rigged with most of the parts, but has as of yet to assemble it. It's like a boat kit!

Just curious, when did your friend take delivery of the 38 hull and parts?

to the best of my knowledge, here is a pic of the last 38 and 31 that was built at Awesome. The 38 was Warcat.

Couple of years ago maybe longer? I'm not sure on the last one built thing. It has been a while since I've talked to him. It was supposed to be the owner's personal boat. That much I do know.

The pics attached are him taking it to his newly finished house the other day. He has been building the house for a while, so no time to build the boat. Hopefully he'll be able to get to it now.

Careful on the 38, there was one that blew out the tunnel near the transom a few years ago. Took a wave bad near Gull Island and the tunnel near the back was gone. I talked to the marina staff and they said one in Chicago did the same thing.

Ran-dom knows the marina, it's right next to Harrison marine repo yard.

The 38 in Chicago came apart just in front of the transom and sank on a poker run, towed to the shipyard up the Chicago river. I took pictures of it up close and inside for Jim Jones at the factory. I moved two times I will look for the pictures ?
We had one with 575 sc that ran on radar 102, It was great on Lake Michigan.
That said I like the boat design but the production of them was not equal !!!
So as far as blow out or delamination it is all up to who does the lamination scedule !!!
Also I think Dan still has the molds pm me and I will try to call him.
