Boat Motors in Movies

[Bail-A-Matic]

If you seen a boat motor in a movies or tv show new or old, Antique would be better take a guess what it is if you don't know post the movie anyway in background or not.

Sometimes a great notion, late 60's Evinrude 18 hp-25 hp used a lot in film.

Grown ups, 1955-57 Green Johnson with pressure tank kind not in good shape in background.

A Team(2010) late 40's Champion in background in beat up shape

Abbott and Costello meet frankenstein, 1920's Johnson on rowboat at end of film not being used.

Great idea for a thread, Bail-A-Matic. I'll have to think on this one for a while! I saw an old late-1950's Perry Mason show a couple weeks ago, I think they had a Johnson on the back of an overloaded runabout.

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but since it's so famous, I thought I should mention it here: The James Bond "Live and Let Die" boat jump scene. There seems to be some confusion about which motor was actually used.



Lots of Glastron trivia about that movie: James Bond Live and Let Die poster

We were just talking about that the other day on here, in the thread about boat chase scenes.

1973 Evinrude 135.

Re: Boat Motors in Movies

Maybe the confusion is mine & I misinterpreted the poster: "Interesting to note is that the '73 catalog lists the max hp of the GT150 at 90hp." I guess that doesn't mean they didn't overpower it for the jump. Makes sense if you intend to fly a boat.
