PT 728 was recently acquired by Fleet Obsolete aka Rob Iannucci, a retired New York attorney and former Sea Scout who is passionate about historic boats, historic racing motorcycles, and historic cars. Fleet Obsolete restores historic boats and vessels.
Fleet Obsolete also includes PT 459 (a Higgins with documented 1943 combat history off Cherbourg), which is undergoing major restoration in Kingston, NY and will be re-powered with the original Packard supercharged V-12 motors, a 1955 Army ST tugboat powered by a 600 bhp Atlas Imperial diesel, and a 1957 Chris Craft lap strake Sea Skiff powered by a 302 Chevy.
