[StartQuote] Hi Ted! OOPs! I forgot you were a member of this message board on my earlier posts. So sorry about that. I wanted to give you also some words of encouragement concerning the PT48. We at the Save the PT Boat Inc were also faced with similar 'dire' circumstances when the USS PT658 hull was first located in 1993. It did take a lot of hard work by 10-15 dedicated WW2 veteran PT Boaters and their freinds in Portland, Oregon in order to get this project up and running. It also was done on a shoestring budget with most all of the funds obtained by volunteer donations and begging for anything we could get. I want to tell you that it really can be done, and to not be overwhelmed by the size of the task. I have been amazed at what we have been able to do in the last 7 years since I have been involved in restoring the PT658. I also agree with Frank, it is likely getting more difficult by the day, as even the youngest WW2 vets are now well into their 80's, to start restoring a PT boat. I feel very hopeful that you are equal to the task, and wish good luck to your efforts! Take Care, Jerry Gilmartin PT658 Restoration Crew Jerry Gilmartin[EndQuote]
