There are many DUKW tour companies operating in the U.S. from Boston to
Branson to Winsonsin Dells to Key West. I spoke with several of them last
year and discovered that, to get a DUKW ready for tours, they frequently
replace the engine, add power brakes, remove the inflation hoses and fender
skirts. It goes on and on. I called one tour operator in Branson and they
told me that they had over a hundred hulls lying around, but wouldn't sell any
of them. As far as the inflation arms and winches, they admitted that they
removed them, didn't use them, and "put them in a pile". When I asked if I
could buy some (inflation arms or winches), they said they "didn't have any".
Good luck dealing with these guys.

It may be a while before I get over to the dealership, but if you would
like to call, the number is 417 862 0777. The dealership is located here
in Spfd., MO.
I don't know anything about it. I just remember one being out back when I
worked there. Ask for Mark Kirby ( the branch manager) or Joe Gann (Parts
manager).
Also there is a co. in Branson Mo that might have some info on a source
for
old Ducks. They are called "Ride the Ducks ".
Good Luck. David Cron >>
