This D.U.K.W. AKA Duck boat is equipped with a rebuilt Perkins diesel motor and rebuilt AUTOMATIC Allison Transmission (upgrade from original gas motor and hard shifting manual transmission ) that has approx 10 hours on the drive train. It was purchased to do a wedding in and was never used since. This can seat approx 32 passengers. The body and undercarriage is in great condition, see photos. The right break seal is in need of repair. The boat also comes with a top that was damaged in wind storm but can be repaired and straightened out, see photo. Also comes with Bostrom front seat not shown. This is a very water tight and great running Duck. The DUKW is a six-wheeled amphibious truck designed by a partnership under military auspices of Sparkman and Stevens and General Motors Corporation during World War II for transporting goods and troops over land and water and for use approaching and crossing beaches in amphibious attacks. It is a modification of the 2 ton capacity "Deuce" trucks used by the military in World War II.
This is a very clean and great condition Duck.
