Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Pt Brower is no longer commissioned. The last of the 82's were replaced by 87's last year.

Thanks for the info, Bill. Didn't see this post when I answered the last one, so sorry for the redundancy.

I'll check your lists.
Thanks!

Not in plastic-- the closest you can get in plastic is the Lindberg 95' Cape class model.
If you're willing to go bigger, there are a few fiberglass hulls and semi-kits of the 82' point class patrol boat. Check my list for more detail....

Thanks for all the info, Claymore!

I found some good pix on the USCG website, some of the Point Leaugue and Point Hudson, both of which Pop served on.

That's a little Point Cutter next to a penny, eh?

Again, thanks so much for the info! Big Smile [:D]

The USCGC Point Brower is still in active service so they my not have anything though.

I also found this: https://www.navalbasehobbies.com/wjuscg.htm

Hello again, folks! Smile [:)]

I don't mean to seem pushy, but I just wanted to pop this post back to the top again in case anybody missed it.

I guess it is a pretty obscure topic, but from talking to dad it seems there were quite a few of these "Point" series boats in service.

Again, any and all information will be greatly appreciated! Big Smile [:D]
