I spoke with the owner about it, so I know what it is and what it does but I thought that I'd keep you guys in the dark for just a little bit.  Evil

Yep, that was my first impression - a converted duck!

Lots of places use 'em for water tours.

The "duck boats" we have around here are converted WWII era amphibs. That thing looks to be purpose built for sightseeing.

we saw this thing in Maggie Valley last summer, have NO IDEA if it floats (i doubt it.)  we were riding by so it was at the last second that i got my camera out and snapped this.  if it looks like the driver had no teeth, he didn't.....

It is a "Duck" of sorts,



The company has two plants one in Rochester, NY and the other in Ridgeland, SC.

This one was on its way from the NY plant where it was built to the SC plant where it will be painted and then shipped to the Grand Caymen Islands. 

The guy driving it was the owner of the company, which after checking out the website I find it  impressive that he is that involved.

Check them out they build some really COOL things..............
