Hello all again,
I recently watched "Striking Distance," 1993, with Bruce Willis for a second time and couldn't recall any mention of the movie within this site. One of his co-actors is, I believe, a 27 Guardian. There is also a chase scene with another smaller Guardian(18?) in the end.
Enjoy.
If redundant, sorry.
Thanks everyone.
Chap

I've seen the movie and immediately wanted the boat. However, it's been sometime since I've seen it, and can't remember if it was a 25 or 27. Nonetheless, a great boat.

Sorry for the previos post I forgot my password and it was a test. Anyhow the boats are a 27 and a 18. Both are currently located in Barnstable Harbor Massachusetts. The 27, nicknamed the "gunboat" is a Marina workhorse, towboat etc. and the 18 is privatly owned.

I was thinking the movie took place in Pittsburgh! Is that correct? If so, did the boats move there just for filming?

I do not know where the film was filmed. I think you are correct though. The boats were new for the filming. At the risk of gossiping, and since I do not know the whole truth, do not hold me to the following statement. From what I understand. Fireman the Owner of Reebok and Whaler, at the time. Had friends in Barnstable mass. who wanted the whalers. From what I also understand they got them for a steal. The movie makers already paid for them for the movie and I guess they had no more use for them. So off they went.

The movie was filmed in Pittsburgh and I lived only a few miles from where the boats were docked! Everytime I watch that movie I get gooosebumps-my hometown and 2 awsome Whalers! No Euro-Transoms here, the real McCoys! One of my friends acctually saw Bruce Willis and his son at Kennywood, an amusement park near PGH. and they said he was a nice guy? Regards-Jack Graner.

We did talk about the film once in a thread about the movie Perfect Storm last fall.
Everyone agreed the turbine engine sounds dubbed over the outboards were really cheesy!
The thread is worth looking for because LHG has a nice tale about his Whaler's 15 minutes of fame.

That was Pittsburgh's finest hour:
Beautiful EDGEWATER FLORIDA Whalers running up and down the river, their WHITE gelcoat and MANLY RUB RAILS gleaming.
I drank many a Rolling Rock (no whimpy Amstel Light Imports for me) watching them make that movie. If you look carefully you can see me in one scene..

John, I am as miffed as anyone about this guy that has my log-in name backwards, and he doesn`t seem to care for me too(that`s a long list, he-he!). You were right about the Bazzaro part, believe me that isn`t me with 2 log-in names, I don`t have a clue who this guy is? Also, who ever you are, even though I prefer Amstel Light(I have only had a few in my lifetime), I drink Milwauki`s Best Light(it`s good and I can afford it), it`s acctually better than Iron Shitty beer-Yuck! You can like new Whalers all you want, I can dig it, Old-New that`s what the Forum is all about-different tastes in Whalers. Regards-Jack Graner.

Maybe it's Whalerguy's latest ploy.

Have you noticed us guys that are talking about this Saga, are all from the snow and cold climates! We better thaw soon or we are going go nuts! Let`s hope for some Whalering soon! Regards-Jack Graner. P.S. Can`t be The Whalerguy, he`s out somewhere paying cash for Freshwater only Whalers!

Tom-
It's hard to get used to manipulating words in the Bizarro language!! (Although I did like the ring of Renrag better; reminded me of "...redrum, redrum..." from "The Shining", I think.)
It *has* been a long winter...
