@roudy1689 Best I can tell, even though she's a Point-class design, she went directly to the Navy upon construction. She was stationed at the SeaBee base at Port Hueneme, CA for most of her Navy career, and the Navy labeled her HM-10 (she never truly had a name until we got her). The Navy had 2 of 'em at Port Hueneme that I know of...the other one, HM-12, coincidentally also went to the Sea Scouts and is now the Point Weber in Stockton, CA.
Rated at 900 shaft horsepower per engine, but I doubt they're putting out that much power now. The engines were rebuilt at some point (we don't know when), but I believe they're the original engines to the boat, so that would make them from 1963. Glad you liked it! :)
i served on the point divide, what cutter was that?
