Hello PT Boaters and Message Board Members!
I found the very latest (as of November 2010) update about PT305 at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. It seems that Jerry Strahan and Co. have joined the new keel to the missing aft section of the boat. Watch the video here on WWL TV New Orleans! Jerry PT658 Portland

Hey Steve (Nuge)! Yes I think it would be great to go to New Orleans and visit those guys! They sent a couple of guys (Jerry and Randy) to visit our group in Portland a few weeks ago and we went through our artifacts and ended up giving them a lot of stuff that we had and they needed. We feel like it is our duty of sorts to work together with the few remaining PT Boat groups who are actively trying to restore a WW2 PT BOAT! I think they ended up with a spare torpedo and a Packard Engine. We were glad to have been in the position to help them out. Jerry
Here is Randy looking at the parts
Here is Jerry Strahan looking over the pile of Parts bound for PT305
