Anyone Want a Diverse Boat Movie?

You are currently viewing Anyone Want a Diverse Boat Movie?

OK, I’ve checked it out. A movie that celebrates the diversity of small boats doesn’t exist. Anyone want to see one?

Homebrew movies have to cost about $30 each. (Small market projects have way-high overhead.) Is that too much?

The whitewater action scene has been done to death, literally, with hundreds of videos. And, really, a lot of WW these days isn’t about the boats—what boat? all I see is a plastic slipper—it’s about the adrenaline DOOOOD.  : )  It’s all about big-air…or big non-air. Feel free to let all exceptions apply. I love a little enjoyable non-death-defying humpy water.

Anyway, I’d like to see a movie that showcased nifty scenes and

examples of small, versatile, homebuilt or at least well-used boats along the lines of:

(let’s riff here a bit…)

houseboat

beach cruiser sail/row

sea kayak  (Greenland, too!)

junk rig cruiser

sailing canoe 50/50

trimaran

ama’ed cat

grumman canoes turned into cat or something weird

pedal boat

water tribe rig

surfski

bolger boats

michalaks

folding bike pulling a folding canoe set up as a trailer which also

carries the luggage

wildwater race kayak (bulbous oddity!)

texas safari race 6-man-kayak-canoe

african kayak race scene

verlen boats in 100-mile 1-day-tour

blackburn challenge scene

Wouldn’t it be neat to see a movie medley showing all these in action?

These couldn’t be anything fancy or ornate. All serviceable, homebrew-style boats meant to be USED. As boats. Not fetish objects.
