Re: Muscle Boats
PT 309, also a Higgins, is fully restored without the engines fitted and sits in the Museum of the Pacific (Admiral Nimitz Museum) in Fredericksburg, TX. The engines are restored and sit next to the boat. PT 309 was a combat boat, used against the Germans in the Mediterranean..
This museum is a must visit if in the Central Texas area. Admiral Nimitz was from Fredericksburg. Plan two days as there is a lot to see and it is only about the Pacific phase of the war.
