Yes, the scorch marks are supposed to represent holes.

Try hitting one on the bow just above the water line. Do not worry about hitting below the water line. The PT boats are plywood in the real world and are crammed with fuel and ammo. Hit the bow if it is headed head on at you, or hit under the command deck. There is an ammo bunker or a fuel bunker there that will make the things explode. And if you want a good laugh, ambush one while submerged and torpedo it. The explosion will send the pt boat flying through the air about 50 ft!
