https://www.row2k.com/features/6204/building-boats-for--the-boys----part-1/The film will take viewers back to the days of wooden shells when the titular Boys rowed their famed Pocock eight to victory at the 1936 Olympics. Recreating that world required boats which would fit the bill. While there were some wooden boats used to make parts of the film, including two eights purpose-built by two of the last remaining wooden boatbuilders in the UK, the filmmakers also relied on a fleet of ten carbon-fiber shells dressed to fit the part--a fleet which came to be thanks to WinTech.
WinTech's Dave Dickison, Brent Keuch, and Terry O’Neill--who himself became very involved in the film when he was ultimately asked to coach the actors who would row the boats--shared the story behind their contributions to the boats and the film.
In the end, WinTech built eleven carbon-fiber hulled boats for the film: a prototype that they used to show the production company how they could replicate the look of a wooden shell, and then ten shells which were rowed in the film. The prototype ultimately made it into the film as well, as a prop. That shell, said Keuch, WinTech's Chief Marketing Officer, can be seen on the racks in the boathouse in a few scenes, where, of course, it looks just like another wooden shell. -

Part 2 on the boats used. The attention to detail down to the oarlock swivels...
https://www.row2k.com/features/6205/building-boats-for--the-boys----part-2/Getting down to specific details like the wood grain would go on to play a role in the film, differentiating Washington's Pocock hull from the other shells in the Olympic final.
"The boats had to look different," Brent Keuch said, "because in 1936 [at the Olympics], there was only one Pocock."
"In the final, you had the Italians using the Donoratico, the Germans were using a Pirsch, the British were using the Sims," according to O’Neill. "With all of those, there wasn't that much obvious difference, but what was very different was that the gunnel on the Pocock used a very light colored pine. So the boat was two-tone and it was quite distinct, whereas the other boats would be stain varnished all the way over in one color."
