Jeff;
Looks like a 70' ELCO or early 77' but the number on the hull is PT 222, so who knows, the number is probably to throw off spies, since it is dated 1943.
Take care,
TED

I'd say she's a 38C...

Yes Ted, you had to be careful on dry land. The sailor looks very happy to be getting picked up. Look at him holding his knees trying to hide his excitement!

Will, I think you made a booboo. Did you mean those are 8-3C torpedoes?

I sure hope the poor slob in the water can swim, cause those two aren't going to help, and the boat sure looks like its passing by.[:-laughing-:]

I must be brain washed, I love seeing the boat in the water, more than I do seeing her on the diving board.

You're not brainwashed, you're wiser.
