Dick, I was away for a while so please excuse my delayed thanks! That is awesome looking! I really appreciate it. I'll be heading over to Kinkos so I can share it with my family. Incredible job!

I have a second set of typical section, If I recall correctly at least one showed gun turrets. If any of these second set leads to additional info I'll post those cross-sections.

Thanks all, your nice comments are greatly appreciated. I still have some minor tweaking on the Higgins, then I’ll be attempting to uncover enough technical info to start a Huckins Project, which looks very, very doubtful and also to finalize my ELCO 77' I started over ten years ago. The 77’ needs a lot of detail added, it currently look very plain.
I’ve requested from the NARA any microfilm on Huckins PT Boats, also request the same for Higgins. Awhile back I request ELCO and they provide 6 rolls which I purchased – however I think the chances for Huckins is not too promising. Anyone that has knowledge of Huckins engineering (drawing) please let me know.
We'll just have to see what 2009 brings and how early I can start a project.
All the best,
Dick . . . .

Try contacting Huckins directly Dick. I THINK they're still in business and have an archives but if memory serves - they charge heavily.

Thanks, Dick. Would be interested in seeing the other type sections. I also have some HUCKINS stuff that may be useful. Will dig it out for you.

Hi Dick,
Did you ever find that set of type sections that showed the turrets? I'm drawing this weekend and could work on the GA for 71-84 if I had them... :-}.

Hi Al,
I'll pull them, I'm sure I had them reduced so I could more easily scan them in pieces. I'll scan what I have and post them so you can download them. It should be two sets of WT sections ( a dozen or so views). However it won't be until later tonight (West Coast time.)
Sorry, I completely forgot - I think I'll blame it on old age creeping in.
