I've had a communication
from a potential owner for PT3 in He is looking for information and especially of her
correct interior layout. If you can help I can put
you in touch via my website http://www.mprints.co.uk/ -
by using 'Fill in my form' The following is part of his email: PT-3 evidently had
many private owners since 1945. The Last One had it on the
The engines at some
time were replaced with two Cummings diesels, now frozen solid. My Plan is to have
the boat transferred to my Home which sits on 3 acres, build a barn over it and
remove everything that was added over the years. Most of the planking is OK but
there are a lot that must be replaced. I have the tools and wood working
knowledge to do the project. I was thinking of removing all the outer planking
to make sure the inner planks are OK then cover the inside planks with Canvas
with glue then replace the outer. There are three interior partitions that are
missing. That's why I was looking for an interior layout.  ------------- Dave Mills |

I put the information about PT3 discovery and proposed refurbishment on the forum in the hope someone either side of the pond may be able to help the guy with some internal layout plans. Dave. ------------- Dave Mills |

Best of British luck on the restoration! Was surprised to learn that we have more working ww2 boats than America as the confederate airforce can put up more planes than most civilised countries. ------------- A boat is a hole in the water surrounded by wood, into which one throws money |
