[StartQuote] Welcome to the site John and thank you Gary for the reference to my model. It's great to see another person building this wonderful boat. The evidence does indicate that the mast was removed at some point I was looking at a letter I received from Dick Keresey of PT-105 and he told me that a lot of skippers either removed the mast or folded it down out of the way. The pictures of 109 indicate it is gone and the photos indicate it was gone before JFK was her skipper. The photos of 109 don't show the balsa raft and it was definitely not there during her sinking or I'm sure they would have used it. I'd like to direct you to the following site which has a wonderful history of the 109 boat. http://pt-king.gdinc.com/index.html Also check out this site which has wonderful drawings of 103 class PT's and will help you with any detail you wish to add to your boat. http://www.pt103.com/ Finally you'll find Dr. Al Ross very helpful with all things PT Boat. I hope you have fun with your build and if I can be of any help please let me know. Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
