Here's one that some get confused with.

What boat did Bond drive in the movie "Moonraker?"

Wasn't it a CV23HT

We have a winner!

Now. How about this classic movie with boat chase scenes. Anyone ever come across a "turbine" Johnson V4?

That is cool. Here is my question, what was creating those rooster tails off the corners of the boat? They were not off the drive, they were off the corners. Hmmmm.

2 very cool boat chase movies are Puppet on a Chain which has a you tube clip and Peter Fonda in Outlaw Blues. I couldn't find a clip of the chase but the movie trailer near the end show's the boat briefly and it looks like a Gt 150 or 160. The yellow boat in puppet almost looks like a carlson.

Ha,ha... Cool! Imagine pulling up to the dock on a choppy day and trying to get out to tie it up!

Where did you find that Joe? It sure is a horse of a different color!

You've got it! It's a floating horse trailer. Or, a landing cra
ft. The front has a fold down ramp.

This just in. During an episode titled "Mirror Image". Sonny shoots the bad guy & then makes off in his/a Talon w/twin Bridgeports.

That's quite a snazzy sport suit that Crockett is sporting... I think that's gonna be my new look. Sans white loafers.
