[StartQuote] Hi Dennis, You can look on Garth Connely's website and see a drawing provided by Wayne Traxel showing the "PT Gunboat" configuration where they removed the torpedoes and added lots of twin 50 cal mounts. Also they added another 40mm cannon to the bow. There is a photo of PT285 which was similarly modified. You can get in touch with Garth, or possibly Wayne Traxel who are both regular PT Discussion board contributors. I am sure he may be able to help. Also Will Day may have a picture of the 283 boat. Here is a link to Garths PT Boat World website. Also by the way were you aware of PT283's fate? It was sunk by friendly fire. PT-283 sunk by destroyer USS Guest (DD-472) while spotting, off Choiseul Island, Solomons, 17 Mar. 1944.
