Did you know
• Amongst the stock shots of USCG ships and aircraft is a brief clip of a Fokker PJ-1/2 "Flying Lifeboat", a monoplane flying boat with two pusher engines mounted on pylons to keep them clear of spray.
• Spud and Jim refer to Florence as "Blondie" several times - actress Penny Singleton went on to play Blondie Bumstead in the popular series starting in 1938 .
• This title has only one "photo" on site, which appears to be a video box-cover, and the distributor managed to incorrectly spell the title of the film. Their title is Sea Rackateers." The guess is that this distributor must of thought the film was about the guy at a ship pool hall who racks the balls.
