Although I'd get banned from the river pretty quickly I think!

Very cool indeed. One of our customers did some of the catering for the film crew and watched the filming of that scene (three weeks if I remember properly).

I was working in our docklands office a lot around that time and watched them filming too - just trying to pursuade OH that I can justify having a boat

Hmm, I'm a little suspect of this one, there seem to be quite a few differences in the foredeck shape and the remains of the superstructure

I wasn't gonna say anything but I'm inclined to agree.
The ad mentions it's the boat that did the 360 over the deck of the Sunseeker, yet that vessel had opposing nitrogen cannons mounted towards the transom to make it rotate as it got airborne.
Looks like someone's half finished 007 tribute project to me.

The superstructures were a bolt on.

And I can't see them leaving the cannons behind as they would use them elsewhere.

15 boats built of which 4 operational. I imagine all the model ones are what is used by Sunseeker and the likes at PR events.

If it's aluminium and was the one that done the jumps then the work hardening would probably make it pretty well worthless for anything other posing.
