[StartQuote] I couldn't find a drawing for PTs 103-114 but an Elco drawing for PTs 115-186 & 314-367 shows the chocks as having a 5 1/4" radius, canvas padding would make the life raft about a 5" radius. I scaled the drawing and came up with the life raft being about 84" x 41" on the outside. The 2 side chocks were 28" apart. The forward chock was offset from the boats centerline 1 1/2" to starboard, the aft chock was offset 1 1/2" to port. The deck arrangement drawing for PTs 103-196 & 314-367 shows the life raft located between frames 11 and 17. As an aside, the drawing for PTs 565-624 shows the life raft, with a squarish cross section, stowed inside the overturned dingy. [EndQuote]
