"junk" equipment, is a very valuable indication of how much was accomplished 
in the four years of war and how difficult the first year or two really was.

On a similar note a few years ago I had occasion to visit the museum in 
Christchurch NZ and see the equipment used by the Scott expedition in 
Antarctica. Talk about junk! ( the cooker pots and the wooden sleds were 
exceptions) Still to think of what they did while so poorly equipped even by 
contemporary standards


Who said you go to war with what you have not what you wish you have.

Good points Bruce. OTOH, with the high hull number of the restoration 
candidate and the short life of a PT boat it was far from a 1941 version. Id 
of thought that by 1944-45 something more mainline would have been 
installed.

I wonder where Kens friend is getting his information?
