OVERVIEW
HIJINKS is a beautiful example of a popular Protector 38 Targa that has been highly optioned and well maintained over her life.

Some of her more notable upgrades include Stidd helm and bench seats, brand new tubes from Ribcraft, full engine service done by Ribcraft, full teak decks and more. Sitting inside a heated storage building, HIJINKS is ready to go for her next owner.
