Cmon! 5 minutes of wide open throttle for the old guys.
Love the sound of those big ol PACKARD 5M2500's !!! Music...
Before I joined the Navy, back in the early 60s, I was a member of the Sea Scouts, whose retired
Lieutenant owned a retired WW2 Pt Boat, and docked it next to the 42nd St boat ramp, on the Columbia River. We took a cruise up the river to Rooster Rock, and stood watch in the engine room, and at the helm. It was stripped of all it’s original armament. In the Navy, I spent 2 years on a big tug in Bremerton,Washington, then, the last 2 years as coxswain of mike 6s and 8s, on Johnston Island, and Bikini Atoll. The big tug would barely do 14 knots at full throttle, with its 20 cylinder, Fairbanks-Morse ,apposing-piston, engine.
That was just Cool as hell y'all! I could imagine that boat getting ready to make a torpedoe run.
Deadly just cruising along. Wow
Great, she is a beautiful lady, her engines is fantastic, cant be better.
people should donate money to keep pt boats restoed for life
Shucks. I was settling in for a two hour trip video. Next best thing to being there. I would have watched it too.
That boat's making good way just at high idle on just two Packards.
this is great to see. I would love this trip
A ride on this boat would be, in Navy terms, hot shit. Thanks fellas.
"Salvage Chief" is normally based in Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia, and has been important in many recovery efforts of disabled and stranded vessels around the area of the Oregon & Washington coast. (The Pacific Graveyard)
"Shift Colors...Boats Underway" should have been announced when the last bow line was cast-off and the flag should have been moved to the fan-tail or stern of the boat.
Them big Packards just idling along !!! !
My dad served in the Navy during WW2, He was on a Liberty ship. The USS John C. Breckenridge.
Awesome and incredible boat
The guys doing the surveying and mapping for the USGCS during the later years of the war, were ferried around from one survey location to another on PT boats on the Alaskan coast and the Aleutians. My uncle was one of them. On one landing he was still on his way back to the beach, when he found the landing boat had left without him, no amount of waving shouting signaling raised their attention. Two day walk avoiding bears and crossing rivers back to base.
Unforgivable. .
@@Steven9675 When Robert Gerrish finally made it back to base..exhausted he discovered no one really cared or noticed he was missing! Later he mapped most of the Western states USCGS as crew chief, surveyed along alaskan pipeline proposal, and then assigned State of Washington section. He was crew chief surveying when the Nv Dixie Valley earthquake struck..the uplift was greater than their rod.
hey guys, where;s you spirit...How about hittin the throttle on those big V-12's
For real. WAO!
Did the PT boats have fans in the engine room back in the day
Wish they would have had those when I was in, I was on a Spruance Destroyer
Excellent videography.
The single gun about amidships is I believe a 20mm.
I didn't know they had a 40mm on PT's.
Aren’t they cute with their crew vest on? A bunch of old guys enjoying their toys.
So?
How do you get a ride on this or the one in lake Pontchartrain.
Considering the political unrest in Portland right now, they should move this boat down to New Orleans to be with the 305. That's where they were built anyway. Besides, it'd be cool to have two PT boats cruising together, now, wouldn't it?
This thing is bad ass!
On the engine there is two levers are they hooked up the transmission so you can go forward and reverse and what else do they do. Thank You..
They hook the engines to the props !!!! DUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!!
The horn signal is 1-6 second blast then three short blasts for astern propulsion.
Make sure to watch Parts 1, 2 and 4 as well. Sorry for the wind noise on camera mic.
That boat was built to run. I want to see that thing wide open bow up and out the water
Why do you never make a video of these PT boats running in a open area so that you can run it wide open for a bit. If you put the motor together correctly it can take it. I'm not saying stay on it for 20 minutes, maybe a 3 or 4 minute high speed run. Maybe leave the 90 year old veterans on the dock.
What I want to know is, whatever happened to PT 73?
There actually was a PT 73 in WW2.
It was used near Alaska for patrol duty.
Later on during the war it ran aground and had to be scuttled.
Why no topedoe tubes?
The early PT boats had Tubes that would use a shell to fire the torpedo causing a flash when the torpedo left the tube which would give the boats position away at night. The Navy came up with a cradle to hold the torpedo like the ones shown on this PT boat where the torpedo is dropped off the boat into the water.
Thank you
It would really help the quality of the audio if you put wind protection on the camera mic
Damn cool thanks
Doesn't that boat have reverse. If it were me and my volunteers I'd put a transmission in it so it has reverse.
watch it around 1.30 to 2.15 in rev
Trainfan And another dumb ass opens his uneducated mouth and spews shit !!!!! Each engine has a built in reverse marine gear !!!! DUUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!!
Awesome
I can only imagine how much it costs to fill the tanks. Where do you get the money for a cruise like this?
What’s the guy doing in the gun turret? Looking for Japanese Zeros? The war ended 74 years ago mate.
Still....might be holdouts. Better safe than sorry!
Reliving memories...
Yes looking for those refurbished restored zeros or those recon sub launched float planes.
To bad you couldn’t fire those 50’s
Anybody here know the story of RON 34's PT 509?
I was Army but there is something about these boats.......
Good to see one being taken care of. In the land of anti gov. And pro socialism im glad yall find enough real Americans to complete a project like that.
thats about as much enthusiasm as a funeral,,??? what gives?

So they are providing security escort for the Coast Guard. Makes perfect sense.😅🇺🇸👊🦟🤜
