Hi Ted,
I am pretty sure we provided some of those props to the 305 crew. Tom Czekanski came to Portland and returned to NO with several truckloads of PT boat parts. We have a pretty good working relationship with them via Jerry Strahan and Tom. We still have more equipment that we dont need that we will probably be giving to the guys in New Orleans as soon as we figure out transportation. We like to be able tp help them restore another Higgins PT boat! Jerry PT658. Portland

The New Orleans Times Picayune has a piece on the 305 and you can see the stark contrast between now and the photos contained in this thread.
