The boat in the film was a Hunton Gazelle 43'..........(not sure it's available here in the states). The one that was in the film is actually for sale.
If i knew how to post a pic I would :confused:

Would the controls be for bow thrusters? I don't think trim tabs would do that type of manuver. Also, I noticed that when the camera closed in on the off shore controls, they seemed reversed, shorter for throttle and longer for trans...
I wasn't even drunk and I saw that...go figure..
