Scott,

I've been a boater for years, I never could get it out of my system. When the kids were young, they couldn't understand what people did on weekends that didn't have a boat.

The old PT's were something back then, fuel consumption was another matter, 2-3000 gallons of aviation gas aboard, 300 gallons an hour at 25-30 knots, 525 plus at full throttle.

Jeff, the time frame was around Sept-Dec. of '43, there were an number of them, I was out on the 335 several times, there were some which had no torpedoes at all, they strictly armed with guns and a mortar.
