I found one of these in a discount store, this week. The reason I bought it was it was a kit I built as a kid and I loved that model. That was looking through the wide eyed youthful innocence I once had. I opened the kit and it is a decent kit for a kid. As a 51 year old hobbyist, I am glad I paid only 11.00 for it! I would have been a little mad at myself if I had paid more, regardless of revisiting a once cherished kit. One Question. Did PT boats have more than one screw? I know I read years ago an account of PT boat crews and they had three engines if I remember that correctly.

Thanks for the video....

Yes, PT boats had 3 engines, 3 screws, all right-hand turning. More info is available at ptboats.org.
