One of my old customers out west was a WWII PT skipper. Really cool elderly gentleman. He said the guys didn't care for the Higgins design, as the hull design didn't perform like the ELCO did in keeping the crew dry.

Do you remember what PT-boat he was a skipper of? Is he still around?
If I recall
, the Elco was more manuverable, but the Higgins was faster. Talking to the vets, it's like chochlate ice cream and vanilla, everybody has their favorites.
Glad to see interest increasing in the project
