    Hello all. I am a set decorator working on a movie shooting in NYC. In our movie we are building a wheelhouse of a 167' motor yacht. The movie is set in the 1990's and I am looking for helm equipment for our set. It cannot be any older than 1997. Please contact me with any questions or ideas as to where I can locate this equipment.

    Hi,

    Are you trying to copy a vessel built in 1997?

    If so you might want to aim at Bridge Equipment from a couple of years earlier.

    The equipment is ordered soon after contract, no one can build a 167 ft yacht the same year the contract is signed so 2 yrs is a fairly safe bet for the date of the gear.

    I must ask that unless you are going to zoom in on individual articles how will anyone know the exact year model of the components?

    Yachtforums will know:D

    I'm assuming he meant the equipment can't be newer than 1997. At least they are trying for realism.
