#15-02. This shot again shows Ron 15 Higgins boats in the Med. Boat to the left is PT 214. I just love the boat with the shark mouth bow. Not sure what boat it is.

Frank;
The Zebra next to 217 is PT 208 otherwise known as "EIGHT BALL".
This was one of two boats within RON 15 that carried the Zebra(adapter) pattern into the MED. A few other boats carried a variation of this with different colors.
Take care,
TED

Thanks for the clarification on the EIGHT BALL. I can add that to the back of the photo. I love the shark mouth Bow on the other photo. Wish I knew what number she was..............

Mr Andruss,

My grandfather was an officer in Ron 15 and Captained PT 214. I was wondering if you have any photos that show that boat?

Thanks,

Hi Frank,
The Sharks mouth Boat is PT203. A personal freind of mine was brother in law to Milt Hagen MoMMC who had these pictures. I posted them on the message board a few weeks ago. I thought you saw them. By the way, Bob was the artist who painted the sharks teeth on PT203. Jerry
