dgbot Posted February 16, 2016 #410 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) You did a fantastic job Tim. What is good about this boat was that it could be modified for different missions. To bad the Navy got rid of all of them after the war. I was at a show several years ago and at one of the tables I think I saw ten models of the 80' and each had been modified for a different purpose. This following page can give you more info on what I am talking about.
