   Hello Tim,
   The stock drive train is sort of crude. A Dumas gear setup would be much "quieter". I keep the gears well coated in grease and that helps. It's a fun boat for being just a large plastic model. In my harbor you can see another PT that I turned into a wood decked runabout.

   Hi there,
   I'm interested in your boat as I have recently bought a similar part built one with bits missing which I am going to have to scratch build. I notice that you only use one motor, do you have any problems with gears grinding? Mine is supposedly JFK's PT109. Some sources state that when his boat was sunk it had the carley float on the deckhouse roof and a canon strapped to the deck with rope and chains. Others state that it was as yours is represented. Any ideas? I'd be interested to see your set-up inside. Looks a nice model.
   Best wishes Tim
