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. ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |

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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_%28navigation_system%29 - 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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

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  ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |
