Not to steer this thread off course but these DUKW's may have been grouded due to safety concerns. Back in 89 the wife and I went on a little vacation to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We took a "duck" ride on Lake Hamilton. Sometime after that one of those things sunk in that lake with fatalities. I would guess that the insurance got too high for small private concessionaires to keep them afloat. I don't know, Do they still run the ducks in the Wisconsin Dels? It would be kind of a shame to scrap-out those 60 year old pieces of history. Ford Guy, do you know any background on them?
