I would suggest that there was never an
Ex- PT Boat used as a mail boat on the lake. I suspect this PT Boat thing was just a popular local story.
PT Boats ranged from 77 to 80 feet in length and had three Packard 2500 cubic inch V-12 engines in various configurations. This would never have been economically viable for a mail boat. Just Sayin.
