Is it the same one that the incompetent rich kid drove into the path of a Japanese destroyer?

If the hull was thrown up I doubt it was a PT boat. They were built of Plywood, I believe. I doubt plywood would have stayed intact this long.

Kennedy's PT boat has been tossed up out of the waters?

Oops, wrong Kennedy.

Kennedy was a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy serving in the Pacific when his PT-109 was cut in two by the Japanese destroyer.

In order for a PT boat to be cut in two (rammed broadside) by a Japanese destroyer, you really had to FU as a PT boat commander. JFK, the PT boat commander, was decorated for his wartime exploits in this incident ... mostly at his father's insistence.

Wreckage from a World War II torpedo boat was tossed up from the sea in the Solomon Islands after a powerful 8.1 earthquake hit the area in early April, an official said Friday. Jay Waura of the National Disaster Management Office said the explosive-laden boat was exposed when reefs were pushed up three meters (10 feet) above sea level by the April 2 quake, which caused a devastating tsunami in the western Solomon Islands that killed 52 people... Waura said people on Rannonga island showed his team the wreckage sitting on dry ground. "We were amazed by this finding, as previously this wreckage had long been sitting under the sea and rusting in peace without anyone knowing about it," New Zealand Press Association quoted Waura as saying. Only the boat's hull with its deadly cargo of explosives remained intact, he said. Waura said a Solomon Islands Police Force bomb disposal unit would be sent to the island to safely detonate the explosives.
