she got cut up around 1996 or 1997 down in Tuckahoe New Jersey. She was a surplus Vosper PT Boat (PT-719) stripped and modified to look like you see her with 3 5M-2500 Packard PT Boat engines.
She was operated as a high speed boat ride off Ocean City NJ until one day she blew her hatches off with a boat full of people thus ending her career.
Average burn at full throttle for the Packard V-12 was 105 gallons of 100 octane gasoline or more per hour per engine.
