With the selling of PT-728 completed, it seems that all the boats are now for sale, with the exception of the newly purchased PT-486. One of the boats, an Elco 80 Footer, is now on EBAY, with an opening bid of $150,000. I hope they do the right thing, and restore the 486 boat to running condition, although I still have my doubts. That leaves PT-48 still up in the air. What a shame, a battle veteran and only 77 footer in the world constinues to sit there. I only wish someone would save her.

Frank;
I wish I could save PT 48, I was so close too in 1998! I wish Howard Barrett didn't play so many head games with her, I would have had her on display at the Navy Museum in D.C. by now. It really makes me sad. I think I am going to take Jim Melanson's suggestion and go buy some lottery tickets today.
Take care,
TED

Charlie;
I think that is an old add. according to this, PT 728 has already been sold and is now with PT 729.
