PT Boat 658 - A Functional, Restored PT Boat
I thought this was pretty cool.
According to the commentator at the beginning it is the only functional PT boat in the world. |

A great boat restored by the greatest generation. I would love to take a cruise on that historic boat. Thank for sharing.

Awesome! Next time I hit San Diego, I'm gonna look them up! I presume this boat is related to the PT 109 that JFK served on?
Thanks for posting! |

It would be great if the Navy would put that back in service, on the Rio Grande....fully armed, of course.

At one time, John Wayne had one as his personal yacht. Would have loved to have taken a ride on that.
