Interesting, there is another brown duck. The Luck Dragon is a darker brown than Kwakato.

Hmmmm....

Does one have a "problem" if you start to recognize certain boat models, how many are painted with certain colors, and worse, recognize individual boats?

Or is this just another symptom for Duckitis?

Since Seahorse Marine custom paints their steel boats at no extra cost for the buyer, their Ducks and Coots are individually recognizable, unlike boats with the ubiquitous all-white scheme.

I have no problem with being readily recognized.

The colors really do make the boats recognizable.

I recognized the other Coot in the photo you posted earlier. We met the owners in Anacortes and the boat looks brand new! I ain't kidding either, that boat was immaculate. They had the boat for sale but I think they kept the boat in great shape as a matter of course.

The Kwakatu was on the hard in Anacortes when we where there so we had to go get photos. We kinda felt like stalkers or peeping toms taking photos through a fence one morning. Twas a hoot because while we were stalking Kawkatu, errr, taking photos, George Buehler drove by and honked at us.

For those of you who have asked about pictures go to ducktalk.net and go to the photo albums section and look for 462-14. My website mvmobyduck.com is currently under construction but also has some construction photos of my boat.

Moby,

Thanks for the info on your website. The info on getting to DD central will be very helpful.

@dannc:

You're too late! The gangs all here at DD central in Doumen, in fact, the soon to be owner of a highly modified DD462 sedan, Anders, along with Tom, the owner of the first DD542, departed yesterday. It's now just me and the owner of Moby Duck (462-14) here at the shipyard.

BTW, I found that getting here the first time was a piece of cake so you shouldn't have any problems.

The trip from HK LOOKS simple, I guess we are about to find out!

Is the 542 still there? I really would have liked to have seen the sedan! Tell Anders to bring it back to the boat yard! Is he going to Hong Kong for awhile or going to Subic?
