I recall being a child in the '50s and fishing with my father from a small motorboat in a bay behind Atlantic City when a converted PT boat cruised by. No one should think of these as small boats. The darn thing was as big as a house and those triple 12 cylinder Packards made quite an impression on me and quite a wake too

Packards eh?

All this time I thought they had used the same motor that was in the P51 mustang....an allison V-12.

I once saw a tractor at a tractor pull that supossedly had a motor from an old PT boat....that's what the owner claimed, anyway.
