I think I will have one made for the front yard. I have freinds that can make one of those. Not sure if the Wife will kill me though.......

Hi Frank,
That would look pretty cool in your yard, but you should change the number at least to reflect the 80 footers started at 103. I think the PT164 was an 80 foot Elco, it was sunk in August of 43. PT64 would have been a 77 foot Elco...which in my opinion look more sleek than the 80 footers. Anyway just a thought. Jerry

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A LAWN ORNAMENT.
IT GETS ME TO THINKING ABOUT THE FAMOUS SILVER PT BOAT HOOD ORNAMENT ADMIRAL BULKELEY HAD ON HIS RED TRIUMPH TR-3.. I'M GUESSING THAT SOMEBODY ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD IS CRUISING AROUND WITH A REPLICA OF THAT HOOD ORNAMENT ON THEIR CAR...
ANYBODY...?
