I remember back around '89 when some guys over at Seminole boat yard were restoring the PT. What a nightmare they had...

No thanks!

John Patnovic (sp) at Wharton Creek Marina (Chesapeake Bay) has one that he is restoring. http://www.wortoncreek.com/gallery/ptf-19/
Not sure of the status, nothing on his blog.

Nice hog she has! I remember when they were up on the hard at the marina off of the Elizabeth River outside of Norfolk. They advertised them for years in Boats & Harbors.

My uncle served on a PT Boat. I will have to ask him on which hull number he served.

I do know that he went to Rhode Island and worked for several weeks on the PT Boat museum.

He and I visited there about 10 years ago.....quite impressive.

He gets pretty emotional when we talk about the war and his time he served....
