[StartQuote] Hi Frank and Ted! Yes Ted is correct. I went to Fredericksburg, Texas to see the PT309 several years ago, (2004 or 2003?) and was able to receive a fully guided tour inside the boat. The Defenders of America group had previously installed Detroit Diesels not Packard V-12 gas engines. Yet when I saw the boat even the diesels had been removed. I was kind of taken aback when I saw that they had cut a door in the aft bulkhead of the Officers head to provide a passageway into the engineroom. There was no engineroom gage panel or reeally much of anything inside the engineroom save for two workbenches. They also had the gas tank inspection covers open so I could take a photo of the inside of their gas tanks. Their Museum group did a great job of setting up a Flash 3D Online Tour of the entire PT Boat. You can pan up and down and all around inside the boat and really get a good feel for how it looks. I will try to link to it here.

Hey Ted whats up with you not making it a clickable link? Didnt you watch Dicks instructional videos? Just ribbin you bud! Take care. Enjoy your tour of PT309! Jerry Jerry Gilmartin[EndQuote]
