To all you vets or movie buffs . . . how cool would it be to convert a V-hull tin to a PBR similar to the boat featured in the movie "Apocalypse Now"??
Came across these actual plans from the Department of the Navy. Talk about a true to detail reproduction!

PBR's were fiberglass hulls, PCF swift boats were aluminum hulls.
