Ted,

I know that was part of their story for the Conch Republic, but was it true?  I have never seen the movie PT-109 (I know, I know...on my list) to determine if the boat was actually there in the background.  All of the information I have ever seen always stated the 3 active boats used were 85' ASR's.  I do know that the chart room seen on the PT-728 when sailing as PT-109 was always attributed to the movie.  When the charthouse was taken off the boat, it sat at Sinn's dock in Wildwood crest for years as part of their WWII exhibit.  It ended up on the 486 in 2000 when Capt. Ron Sinn traded one of his aluminum boats for the 486 and was trying to make another PT-109 ride.

That last picture in my post with the Scotty Warren shown was the ex-PT-762.  It is hard to determine, but my guess is this was actually Scotty Warren IV.  It is hard to trace because they had so many ex-PT's between Vospers and Elco's.  I have pictures of at least 8 of their boats, all ex-PT's.
