I had these images saved as both PT 524 and 530. Does anyone know which is correct?

A late-numbered 80' Elco with the rear cockpit armor & wing present?

I'm shocked, shocked![:-grin-:] But thanks for posting (particularly the first) photos, Jeff. I've never seen them before.

Drew . . . .

Your pulling the trigger to fast or two many times - your ISP may or my WHS is slowed down by use - it all depends on server loads.

All browser indicate status of request differently - my Safari browser has a blue status line that creeps across the URL indicating the status of the action, some show a spinning wheel etc. . .. Simply if you don't see a "Post" accepted screen the request has not finish - maybe just slow down a little.

After all I'm running a very tight budgeted operation hear.

Here, let me guess, Dick Van Dyke is at the wheel(hair is bleached from the sun) and David Niven is standing next to him. This is a still from the 1950's movie Knights of the Seas[:-laughing-:][:-laughing-:][:-laughing-:]
Take care

Thank you Will! I'll go with that. Thank you Will! I'll go with that.

You're welcome Drew. I'm going to make another post with what I've found about which boats carried armor.
