Seasalt007: Please explain how you determined that the PT"s were "bottom of the barrel". Heavy teak was used for the engine room hatches. Ford Lehman and Perkin engines were offered. I would say overall build quality was quite good and the design was excellent except for the exposed propeller on the single engine models.
Another builder used the PT hulls to build some models on mainland China at one time. The one I looked at appeared to be of lower quality then the Taiwan built boats.
