About 25 years ago the hull of the old Wolverine was sitting in the yard behind Continental Trailer in Romulus. Anybody know what happened to it after that?

As the story goes Jim from Lancer, Aero, & Awesome Marine bought the Wolverine hull from Pete Smith. The transome & stringers had rot, Jim was to make a mold of it but did not and it sat for many more years. Last I heard when they went to move it broke up ??????? Today ???????????
