Restored and operational. Very nice!

In the 50s they were virtually giving these things away. They were
being sold at auction and most went for the scrap iron price of the
engines.
When you see what is there in the restoration gallery of pictures you
do get an idea of how hard it is to keep a wood boat alive.



When I was a kid, maybe 8 or 9, someone had a PT boat they kept in
Milford Harbor and ran it out in LI Sound once it a while. I saw it
running twice. It was pretty fast and *very* loud.
