I recently saw a re-run of the original classic movie "JAWS". At one point in the movie, the police chief and Hooper head out on the water at night in search of the shark in Hooper's boat. After re-viewing this scene a couple of times to be sure, I realized that the boat used in this sceen was a Trojan.
Does anybody know what year and model this boat was? It looks similar to an F-26 but with the flybridge mounted over the cabin to keep the height down and increase cockpit space. "Cool Boat"

Not sure what make or model, if it is...a Trojan.
Here is the boat I think you're talking about. You can fast forward to 5:40 seconds into the scene.

If you run this clip just a little longer, you'll actually see the Trojan name plate on the side.

It's not a Trojan, it's a 28 Pacemaker.

I'm gonna side with a Pacemaker too...
Lookie here, more resembles this boat with the low flybridge, rounded transom. Should I get out the beer and popcorn for this one?!

And scene number 6 of the movie...you can easily make out the resemblance of the flybridge.

I'd say your right. It's a Pacemaker.
