So I'm watching Jaws the other night on TV, and I cant figure this out...When Brody, Hooper, and Quint head out to find the shark, they take Quints old fishing boat....

Now if you've seen the movie you know the shark pretty much destroys the boat, which was held together with Elmer's glue and some rusty nails...I mean that boat might be good for fishing mudcats on the Ohio, but not for going out to sea after a 3 ton shark.....

Anyway if you recall earlier in the movie, Hooper (Dreyfuss) and Brody(Roy Scheider) take Hooper's 40 foot research rig out to dive for Ben Gardners boat......Now this boat is obviously the newest model with radar,sonar, and room for 8....its top notch fiberglass, has a big hoppin engine (compared to Qunits Briggs & Stratton), and probably could sail thru a hurricane unscathed....

Why didnt they take this boat to hunt the shark?????.....I think i'll write to Spielberg and ask him.........
