So it is late, and I am setting here watching the newest James Bond movie with my girlfriend and suddenly she says, "wasn't that a catamaran"

Sure enough after a quick rewind there it was, pretty sure it was a bravo. I am sure this has been discussed but still it is pretty cool. What did hobie do to get their boat showed in the movie?

Moveis and TV shows just love the color and action in the background. Most often we are not even involved. In this case... we did nothing. Pretty cool!

Yeah, that is pretty cool. I didn't know if they had to get permission or something to use one of your all's boats.

Maybe next time Bond will have a Hobie full of gadgets! SOmthing like this

Wouldn't you hate to bury the bows on that thing. Looks pretty cool though, but dangerous.

I think I'd want an elavator like the tail of an airplane on the back of that thing. What's the point anyway. Fan boats are flat on the bottom so they can go across just about anything moist. And operate in super shallow water. Somebody was just REALLY bored.
