Just in case, my article about a visit to what's left of an old boom

On pages 69, 70 and 71 there are pictures of a Dufffy electric boat

just like the one my neighbor has - no exotic technology, just a bunch

of golf cart batteries.

We were vacationing in Napa a few years ago, and did a Napa River tour. I'm pretty sure the tour boat was a version of a Duffy. It was a pretty cool boat, perfectly suited for that kind of service.


I looked into them a lot back then. Double enders, beautiful design like
you said for that purpose... Very efficient hulls, great boats. I would
own one if I could.
