Check out this cool PT boat from WWII, and the way some aging vets restored it. I thought it was pretty cool!
Sorry...I don't know how to embed the video itself in a post so you will have to cut/paste the link until someone more tech saavy than me can do it (and maybe explain how to do it too). http://videos2view.net/PT658.htm |

With 3 1800 hp turbo engines I'm sure it uses quite a bit. The vid said it was in Oregon. I wonder where? That sort of looked like the St John's bridge in Portland. |

Thats pretty neat,I wish I had seen that before my father in law passed. He worked for the Navy as a civilian radar and radio technician and traveled the world,one of his big projects was the Omega navigation system.Anyway on his many travels I remember him telling me about a surplus PT he had seen that some ex sailors were using as their fishing boat,sadly I dont remember much of the story.

Cool boats!
I had a large RC scale model of one when I was a kid and still into model boats. Now I go for real size ones

66 gph (200 gph for all 3 engines) at cruising speed of 23 knots, or 166 gph (500 gph) at wide open throttle at roughly 45-50 knots. |
