@@aaronapple8516 that´s fucking Awesome man, i don´t know that anyone of them survived. a good friend of mine and I have often thought about completely rebuilding one of these treasures. We even had a boat builder on hand who would help us, it's just incredibly difficult for us here in Europe to get construction plans and dimensions of it on the basis of which you could start something like that.
my father made ne extra for his private boat, but e did something better then the government, a 36 foot boat, with twin 450hp motor jimmy's 2 to, into a overdrive prop, we hit 43 knots instead of the government 28 knots, thats was in 1967, and we still have her !
That thing is just straight up sexy. What's cooler than a boat? A boat with guns. What cooler than a boat with guns? A vietnam era river patrol boat with guns that is still going strong today. 🇺🇸🤘

Far cry from a PT Boat. Great someone did a restore on this piece of history but they should have put PT boats into the rivers of Nam. At least you had some room to sleep on one.
Sanitys Void a PT boat would have run aground and had trouble making turns in the narrow rivers and canals. Plus it's torpedos would be useless. The PBR is actually more heavily armed than a PT boat. It is purpose-built for riverine use.
@@mechanshican Well ok. But you should know I was suggesting the platform not the weapons of a PT boat. They also had larger boats on the river for the larger waterways.
@@SanitysVoid They used an Aluminum patrol boat based on a crew boat 50 ft. long called a PCF - aka "Swift Boat". They did use a few "Nasty" class PT boats - but only off shore. PT boats would have never had enough room to maneuver and would never be able to utilize their speed potential - which is one of their greatest assets.

A boat powered by one of the most ignored and undervalued engines of all time...
Where Is This Being Filmed? -Or Is This All A.I. ? -Because If It's The Latter, And You're Trying To Recreate Vietnam, Then You Got The Foliage Wrong!
Filmed in Virginia and North Carolina, so yeah, the foliage is different from VN.
I want one for chirstmas

Hi, very good. What sounds make the sirene? maybe you can it recorded?
"All I wanted was a mission and for my sins they gave me one".

It’s an original haul that was refurbished. You can see the full history at PBR721.com

Beautiful job. I saw your link on the Uniflite Club FB page. Have you posted it on the Uniflite Owners FB page ?
Thank you! I just filmed the video. I believe the owner, Dennis has done all of the promotion.

Love how all these pbr vids have CCR music
Rolling Stones in this one..
Wow you guys made a pbr ! Damn that’s awesome. Water jets propeller rules !
Repowered with conventional shaft/propellers.
Great !
Super Film , super Fahrbild !!
Nice restoration. I have a beef with the Vietnamese flag flying higher than the US flag. Not correct protocol
Brings back alot of memories spent a year on one of these as a gunner and then coxin. Not sure where this was filmed to new of a boat to be in VN

Now, I can build a PBR, and doirama.👍⚓🇺🇸
PBR - SWCC = who you gonna call when the natives are restless and you need an uber out the shit?
That's fucking awesome
A Dream , thx
Everyone wants a brand-new boat with fancy extras- give me a flat-green tub with 360hp and a lot of of American steel on it.
It's been 51 years since I lost my boat, my crew mates. I needed to honor them and posted this on my feed. Hope you don't mind. USN '69-72
