Hi Dan,The history of this boat that I know is when I was a teen we used to go to Wildwood every year at a dock called Capt. Simms dock. He had this boat done up as PT 109. The main deck was covered with benches for sightseers . He sold the boat to someone in Fla. then about 10 or 12 years ago the boat ended up at Greenwich Marina. I myself rode on the boat many times . This is one of the last ones built . It's in Tuckahoe N.J. The owner fiber-glassed the hull. He also reduced the power plant to two 6v71 Detroits. Two years ago they wanted $ 3,500 but it could probably be bought for less now . Some of the wood planks need replacing. The transom has worm hole damage I'am told . This vessel in general looks like it could be made seaworthy. Any other info or pictures I will keep you up dated Thanks - Dennis Strasser email: themighty109@comcast.net |
