They made over 21,000 of the Duck Boats. They may still be server
thousand around for parts.

And why would you call them ugly. They were functionally designed, and
worked well. They had to add an air compressor and a way to auto inflate
the tires. They had to lower pressure for Pacific Island beach landings,
and then inflate for harder ground.
