I was always intrigued by one of the PT skippers, maybe it was the 105's Dick Keresey, who described his "little underway seat, at the rear of the cockpit..."

That sure looks like a little, folded-up, seat with a brace, or "leg" on it -- like an old-fashioned, fold-out wall ironing board -- on the inside of the 195's cockpit behind Russ, and it looks like this same seat, folded down, behind the 171's skipper in that shot of him in PT 171's cockpit.

Could this be "the little underway seat?" I always thought the "underway seat" they were talking about was the "bench" along the inside of the rear cockpit armor, but...

Man, the vintage PT photos that are posted on this site are GREAT! You're almost always learning something new about the boats.

Thanks, guys, and keep on posting those photos!

Jeff, It definitely looks like a seat. However, I have never seen anyone ever sit at the wheel. The picture of me was taken on the 195 boat, and as I said, it looks as though it is too close to the wheel.
I'm glad that you replied to my post because I was able to see the pictures that you posted in the link that you referred to. They are great !! Thanks

Russ

You're welcome Russ. I enjoyed them too.

Interesting Drew, it would seem the seat would fit the Captains description.
