Why does the Bond Superhawk have clear decks?

[Anthony]

I haven't had the pleasure of being on a Superhawk 43 (any offers ? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif ), but from the pics they all have seating on deck, yet as I recall the one in the Bond film had a totally clear deck. Are the seats removable, or did they build a special version?

When I was watching the Bond film I was trying to figure out why it had such a large space on deck with nothing on it.

I am sure there is something more important I should be doing that wondering about this, but I cant think of anything right now /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

MBY has a report on that boat in the January edition. I think i recall reading it was a special build.

it has no furniture on it, because it was supposed to look like a tender to the 37m trideck that is also featured in the movie.

to be honest I dont like all this modification if I was a customer
that boat can have a total different engines and tanks set up position, which makes her weight distribition twice if not 3 times better to the original 43 Superhawk
guess why if you but one of the shelf it want handle so good....

My guess is that they used the boat as a filming platform for the chase scene. Flat decking the back would make an ideal platform for film gear and crew.

You'll notice that the radar arch is missing too which would give clear unimpeded 360 degree vision.
