My restoration project of a 1972 Glastron GT150 speedboat. It's the EXACT Year, Make, Model, and Color of the boat used in the '73 James Bond movie Live and Let Die starring Roger Moore. It set a World Record for boat jumps when it sailed 110 ft over a highway and landed on the other side. Many of these boats are out there in need of repair and I hope this helps brings back more of these classics to the waterways. There is much info here about the movie, the boat and my project.

Hi
My uncle owed the original movie boat for about 15 years, he bought it in the early eighties from someone who worked on the camera crew. It spent most of the time covered in my backyard where as a kid I would love to play in it. Sadly for me he sold it to the Ian fleming foundation in 1996. Your project looks great!
