I liked the duck boats, sad they are gone.

I am on the rivers quite a bit. And where the duck boats were far from the yar, The where the freaking Queen Mary compared to those tiki boats.

I'm just waiting for one of those to go down.

Really who thought it was a good idea to put high bar chairs on a raft that looks like your shady Uncle built in the backyard then invite a bunch of people to get drunk and take a tour of the river. Every time I pass when I pray that I'm not the one that knocks them into the water.

The difference with the tiki boats is it would be individual passengers falling overboard, rather than the boat sinking and taking everyone aboard down with it. As shoddily built as the tiki rafts might be, the form factor and materials would make them very hard to capsize.
