    Great Clip,
    I'd never heard of the Hatteras PB.

    Check eBay under Military Vehicles. I see a few every year for sale. I think there may be some on there now.

    I have always heard that after Willis Slane conceived the idea, built the prototype with his own money in record time and gave it to the Navy that the USN then measured it, wrote up its specifications, and put the job out for bid. Uniflite then won the contract. Some say this contributed to Slane's untimely death. No good deed goes unpunished.

    Re: Hatteras PBR

    Thanks Jim,
    I recall the aluminum crew boat manufacturer and Uniflite now that you mentioned it. Were any Patrol Boat River purchased from Hatteras?

    Thanks for the cross reference. Obviously no Hatt PBR, only Uniflite. Interesting aside regarding the fire resistant resin and the company's demise.
