1945 Higgins PT

The 1945 Higgins PT is a 78-foot wooden sportfish boat powered by three John Deere diesel engines, originally built to the Navy's specifications for combat operations. The boat features three heads and maintains operational status, embodying the design and engineering of its wartime era.

The yacht accommodates crew and passengers across its length, with layout suited to its military heritage and subsequent civilian conversion. The boat has been in private ownership and remains largely unrestored from its original configuration, preserving authentic details of its construction and equipment.

The hull and systems reflect the boat's age and operational history. The triple-engine powerplant represents the original military specification, delivering the performance characteristics expected of a PT boat. Any restoration or repower work remains the responsibility of a future owner.
