Absolutely yes. We have lost a lot of good people who were serious
boaters because of all the BS that goes on. Probably many more took
one look and never came back. It might be interesting to start a list
of the MIAs. Here's a beginning:


Chuck Gould
Tom Francis
NOYB from Naples, FL
Gene Kearns
Eisboch
Wayne (Clams) Canino
Lloyd Sumpter
Karl Denninger
Larry from Charleston
Karen Smith
Bill Grannis
Dave Brown
Vic Smith
Del Cecchi
Capt. Bill in Sarasota
Steve Weingart
Steven Shelikoff
Norm (N.L.) Eckert
Russ Glindmeier


I'm sure there are lots of others.


How many of them left because of Harry directly?

None.

And why are you here? You said you were leaving...lying...again?

He never left...he just changes his name..... Coward is as Coward does.

Say what? How long have you been *e#c, hypocrite?

Only a million dollars per vehicle (in *1969* dollars!).
Quite the "bargain".

These guys are much better:

I've been on three duck tours (London, Boston, and DC); they were all
good, but I thought Boston's was the best.

They let 2 year old girls pilot when in the water.


I did not know that.

I doubt they could get away with that in London, since someone with a
river piloting licence takes over from the road driver when the duck
is about to go into the Thames.

In Branso Mo. The guy has about 7 Duk's, and has actually copywritten
the phrase "Ride the Ducks!" so nobody else can use it.

His have been lengethened and modified with a, Allison automatic
transmission, and propane burning 454 GM engine. And 7 years ago, it
was at a cost of about $200,000.00 USD. I thought that was a bit much
but thats what the cap'n said from what I can remember.
