God
I'm watching the behind the scenes show about Jaws on BIO. There are some great shots of old boats, Bertrams, Formulas, a few Airslots, lots of traditional wood New England style boats
 
Yep! I like watching the begenning of Gilligans Island to see all the old boats. There's something about those old wooden boats. They were built with real craftsmanship.

I really didn't need to know about that site. Its a good thing I'm limited by space

I subscribe to the newsletter which gives you an account and that lets you see a lot more pics and info about each boat, plus lets you advertise for free. Def some good bathroom reading.

Thankfully most of the boats featured are not in GA/SC/FL, LOL!

Spare, I'm constantly reminded of what you told Reel once about an old Aquasport he had his eyes on, something like:

"If you want to experience what it would be like to own than old project, why don't you just go out in the yard and set fire to stacks of 100 dollar bills, spray yourself in the face with the water hose, and then roll around in a pile of fiberglass dust." :oh:
LOL

Great site Bradford! I subscribed and bought a tee shirt. I've always loved old wooden boats. Use to have a 37 ft. Colonial with twin slant-six Chryslers and velvet drives. Miss that old boat. Like Spare said, its a good thing I haven't got room for any more projects right now. But maybe later!!
 
Is there no way to look at listings without subscribing? It looks like great fun, but the last thing I need is another subscription. (The 40' Matthews almost got me to sign up just to see it! That has always been one of my favorites.)
 
I watched it again last weekend ! WHAT A GREAT MOVIE ! I love the part when they are showing scars and tatoos before the big guy hits there boat! I was 18 when it came out and I did not go swiming at the cape that whole summer I cant beloive it's been that long since it came out .



we ar going to need a bigger V20 !! LOL:oh:
 
in the behind the scene show, they talked a lot about the USS Indianapolis story, the story had been classified for many years after WW2, so not many people knew about it. They had a couple of survivors speaking about it and how Jaws was the first time many people knew about what they had gone thru, it was pretty cool
 
i had just learned to scuba dive when that came out. first couple of months i dove, all i was doing was looking over my shoulder the whole dive.

my favorite line was when Hooper was about to get in the shark cage, " Ain't got no spit"
that was our mantra while diving that summer.

great movie, thanks for the link
 
Sorry... I don't share the enthusiasm that some do for old wood boats. My first boat larger than a rowboat was a 17' lapstrake Grady White. Solid boat, with good lines... but the yearly scraping, calking and painting was simply a pain in the a$$. I'll stick with fiberglass boats thank you.
 
Yesterday when I got home from work my 15 and 13 year old daughters asked out of the blue if I had ever seen Jaws...yes...is it scary?...yes, but I was 9 then.

So they said they were going to watch it...they are watching it again tonight.
