In reality, the hull of a PT boat was a double layer of mahogany, with the boards of one
layer at an angle to the other layer.

By the way I belieev you are mistaken.

Mahogany was much too hard to get during the war to use it en masse on these boats.

My apologies , I went looking for more info and found you were correct. The boat hulls were double planked mahogany as you said.
