[StartQuote] Hi Jerry, While I think those that can will make every effort to visit the PT 658 when we can I also think that any find of a PT Boat that had been lost is worth a little discussion, only a little mind you, as to your reality check while I would like to visit the 48 Boat the prime object would be to assist in getting her restored however, the currant owners price tag of $500,000.00 for a boat that was a gift to him so that he could restore it is a little high, also a discussion that seems to have stalled appears to have put her out of the game so to speak. Pretty high starting price for a few pieces of timber what! ( history aside) This is probably why the 59 Boat has received so much interest being that if there is any chance that a Elco 77' boat or parts thereof could become a basis for a restoration then for a lot less cost parts of her could be obtained for a lot less than say $500,000.00.( maybe) That she will become the basis for a restoration is highly unlikely unless of course, the planets align, we all learn to breath underwater, man flies without wings, the green house effect is reversed, O and maybe if one of us finds an extra few million in a back pocket somewhere !!! but it's still interesting to see if anything of her remains. On that I am indeed interested. Have a good night Jerry, Dave.[EndQuote]
