I've seen a restored PT in Portland during the Rose Festival.

Bigger than I’d pictured but I think they were about 80 ft long what caught my attention was the amount of fire power packed into it. I think there was a Bofors 40mm on the front deck and a 20mm autocanin on the back deck. At least four .50 caliber machine guns. Four torpedo tubes and a few depth charges. I don know if the 40mm was standard but I’ve heard they PT guys we’re always looking to add firepower.
