Boats of Bond, presented by Boater's World
Calling all Bond fans. James Bond that is. On display during the Seattle Boat Show at Qwest Field Event Center will be four high tech, specialty vehicles from some of the most famous action scenes and chases in the James Bond film series, including:

Thunderball Tow Sled (1965) The underwater tow sled was used by James Bond and the villain Largo. There were 14 boats originally built for the production company. Today, there are only two known to exist. The original builder, Jordan Klein, owns the other remaining sled.
Diamonds Are Forever Bath-O-Sub (1971) The underwater bath-o-sub is one of two originally featured in the film and was used by 007's nemesis, Blofeld, to escape from the oil-drilling platform that doubled as his headquarters. It can be seen as Blofeld climbs inside and is lowered over the side of the oil platform.
The World Is Not Enough "Q's" Jet Boat (1999) Major Boothroyd's famous "Q" jet boat. Fifteen "Q" boats were originally built for the production. Today only 8 survive. The Jet Boat performed a barrel roll stunt seen in the film.
Live and Let Die villain's chase boat (1973) In Roger Moore's debut as 007, the action highlight is a boat chase in the New Orleans bayou. Bond's boat in the speedboat jump scene over the bayou unintentionally set a Guinness World Record at the time, and the villain's boat that made the jump later unintentionally destroyed Sheriff Pepper's patrol car. The villain's boat will be on display.
