Masseyboy89 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Does anyone know of, or have any pictures of old U.S. Navy P.B.R. boats from the Vietnam war? I was wondering how many are still in the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver99 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 There are. There was one on U.S. Ebay last year, if i remember rightly it was about $20 000. A doer-upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david052 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I think there was an article on G503 about someone restoring one - always thought they looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wasn't it Glastron designed and built them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching Apocalypse now again! I'll try and find that thread on G503, thanks. I've always liked the look of them as well, Its sad more didn't survive. I guess with the the controversy of the Vietnam war combined with a limited use in the civilian world meant the majority ended up as history?
