[StartQuote] Mike: Yes I do remeber chatting with you about the 761. For a short time I was trying to help Jim with funds to keep the project going. As you might recall Jim invested his own money into the project to shore up the boat and build a cradle for her. PT 761 was of course the last boat to roll off the assembly line at ELCO. Seems that the Storage Company where the boat was being held gave the new owner of the boat a certain time frame to move her, then shortened that, making it very difficult to get here out of there. This is where things get a bit sketchy. I had called the storage yard to find out about the boat and they told me it was cut up and disposed of. Why the new owner never moved her, or got some type of injunction to stop the boat from being destroyed is beyond me. Had it of been my boat, I would have done everything short of chaining myself to her to keep them from wrecking my property. I know that Jim was very upset to learn what had happened. He put his heart and soul into the project. To me it was nothing short of shooting a defenless animanl. [EndQuote]
