boat from movie "JAWS"

http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?144679-The-quot-Orca-quot-from-Jaws

First off, I can't believe someone didn't want to grab this boat as keep-sake novelty when the movie became a "Blockbuster" that year when the boat would still be in OK shape.

Appears to be twin engine/prop and for shallow water?

Maybe they wanted bigger aft deck for little more room.

What are these boats used for?

 

Warlock was a Nova Scotia lobster boat purchased by Joe Alves for the movie.
One of the crew did want it and paid $16,000. The studio reconsidered and bought it back for $60,000. Unfortunate they let it rot and ORCA was destroyed in 1996.

The sinking scene model was also destroyed http://www.buzzybean.com/html/jaws_air_pg9.html

 

Jaws !!!!!! --- what was that about? That was that bloke in a bowler hat that bit his way through the bars in Fort Knox for that James bond thing.

You know, that one where that skinny blonde bird had a bikini on backwards and Austin Powers (I think) got stuck in the toilet.

-------- I don't remember a boat in it!!!

 

There were some memorable boats in the bond movies... the hydrofoil, underwater scooters, speedboats, the freighter with the opening bow for a sub, the villians' yachts, hovercraft, and the first jet ski. I know I left some out. Have started http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/al...d-movies-where-they-now-45429.html#post595838
