Dan how's it go'in?
You will have to excuse the Aussie parlance.

I've been a fan of the PT's, since I was old enough to talk (30 years) but down in OZ they're obviously pretty scarce!

So Basically I'm hankering for a PTF to restore and use, well actually that and live on, and sail the world in,  but for some reason they seem "extremely expensive", as in three times what I could build one for?

I would genuinely love to restore an original PTF, but from over here it seems like I would be buying a piece of sh_t for far too much.

The only info I have is off the net, and the going price is $388,000.00 US, that equates to over half a million here and frankly it's not worth it! But I would rather spend money on something historical than something new. Can you assist in some current info? relating to these great boats?
