[StartQuote] I just finished reading the making of TWE and agree with Ted's theory on the 38 boat being used in the movie. While Mike V is correct that a mock up was used for the final scene of the 41 on a trailer on it's way to Lake Lanau, I found a picture in the book showing what I believe to be a 77' Elco, moored in board of an 80' Elco on location. The spray rail on the boat in question is neither from an 80' Elco, nor from one of the Huckins used in the back ground scenes. The scenes where the 34 is pulled from the reef, being re-launched, and finally strafed and burned are ALL of a 77' Elco hull with a modified deck arrangement to resemble the two 80' footers being used in most of the action scenes. If MGM were going to build a floating real life mock up of the 34, why a different boat than the 41 mock up? Larry 62 Bel-Air 260 Eagle EXP 79 Cole TR-2[EndQuote]
