[StartQuote] For ELCO boats fresh from the factory, Dicks drawings show a deck stowage arrangement for PT 372-383, 486-545, 546-563, and 731-760. The drawing shows a location of 10.5" starboard of the boat's center line and just aft of the forward deck hatch. A 565-624 drawing shows a deck stowage location for PT 565-576 of 20" starboard of the boat's center line and just aft of the forward deck hatch. A note states this position was as delivered and later relocated to the 577-624 position of between the mooring post and foot rail, and angled out at the aft end a little less than the foot rail angle. Another 565-624 drawing shows only one below deck stowage location on bulkhead 4. The below deck stowage drawing for the other boats shows an additional location on bulkhead 9, and a note states the bulkhead 4 location was discontinued after PT 372.
