...make it a free boat!
I was gonna say, depends on if you're speedy cop or not.
as a person who graduated from an "Aerospace & Ocean Engineering" department... I have oddly mixed feelings about this
you think there's nothing more expensive than a free car? imagine the cost of free plane...then double it to make it a "free boat"...i'll bet he has a TON of cash in that thing...

With names about like The Flying Penthouse and Cosmic Muffin what could go wrong.
A big aluminum boat sounds great until you learn about all the horrors of stray current corrosion.
Holy crap, I thought the Cosmic Muffin was just made up for a Jimmy Buffett book.
That hulk is/was one of only 10 Boeing 307 Stratoliners built.

The good news is it looks like all the missing bits are standard B-17, so it should be easy to put it back together...
In reply to petegossett:
Hahahlolololloo....nope. 
I can't believe that the hulk sold for $62. I am glad he did something neat with it instead of it ending up scrapped entirely. I've seen some deals on airplane fuselages through Government Liquidation but sadly they required destruction within sight of a Gov Liq employee, which means shredding the metal into 1/2" or smaller bits. No way to reuse or repurpose them at that point!
Who's your captain now? Captain Sully of course!
The window unit AC hanging out the side is a classy touch.
According to the Wiki, that fuselage was from Howard Hughes's personal 307.
I will fly to Hawaii.

I was going to say "Didnt one of Howard Hughes' personal planes' fuselage end up converted into a boat?"
