Awesome guys. This was truly a step back and scratch my head moment !! After all these years I never knew there was such a craft.
Thank you

Unfortunately, I don't think many photos where taken of the 4 boats(PT 368-371 RON 18). These 70' ers must have really flew!!! If I ever, get past all my other projects, and I find a few more photos of these boats, maybe a model can be made, using Stan's photos of his PT 10 build just for the hull.
Take care,

P.S. Hmmm!!! I just thought of something.......A few posts back, "ELCO RUDDERS" Jerry mentioned a race against Higgins PT238 and other PT's at Mindoro, a 77' foot Elco was mentioned, well PT 66 RON 8 (Which was by then re-designated a small boat), but, might this have actually been a RON 18 CPB 70' PT (PT 369 or PT 370)????

PTHQ has a bunch of closeup photos of these boats from LCDR Edwin Polk's collection.

Just read the article in Navsource (thanks Jerry). Does anyone have any other history about this series of boat that they can share?
