PT-40 and PT-140 ran with Nikko tours in Miami into the early 2000s, anyone have any idea where they are today?
I know they originally ran with pt-48.

No, I have been searching for both for quite a long time. I don't think they ran them that long.
Haulover Sightseeing Cruises merged with Nikko in November 1975. Then Nikko sold PT 48 to Jungle Queens Inc on 27 June 1985, Then Jungle Queens sold PT 48 to the owners I met in 1990. I think all three were sold around this time period, because both Jungle Queens and Nikko went to larger aluminum hulled boats. Any ideas?
Take care,

I'm not sure Ted, I would obviously hope they weren't destroyed, but as far as we know they are in the hands of private owners now, or still in commercial use in the area, I'll try to do more research.
