Nice video learned alot from it thanks, PT's are beautiful boats there were also durable considering they were mostly of plywood construction, wheres this PT at in portland i go there daily to the port of portland
i do have a couple questions the two stearn engines i noticed levers with red handles on them what are those for? second how many men crewed the engine compartment ? Also the stick shift gearboxes are cool as heck, i bet in close quarters the guys were shifting the boxes like mad lol
I went to Omsi and went on the Sub tour that was a fantastic experence our group got this old timer so served on that actual sub and his stories and knowledge of the sub made for a real fun time, i never realized how small that Sub was inside.
