I can't find any of the old videos or stills. All were shot by Bruce Mozert. <br /> If you happen across any of them please let me know.<br />Thanks and be blessed<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853107682042171221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-67675475708582542862020-12-20T08:58:20.477-05:002020-12-20T08:58:20.477-05:00One of the early circa boats was rebuilt and curre...One of the early circa boats was rebuilt and currently operates on the Rainbow River. She's the oldest and only remaining early operational boat from 1934. She's now named the 'Princess Donna' and operated by Old Florida Boat Tour in Dunnellon Florida.

My wife and I went yesterday, but there was not one coin in the water, and 1 captain there recalled there being coins in the water as a child, but no one had any idea what happened to them. Do you recall this or even better have any pics?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775401846134480285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-43344429841404148842014-08-19T19:44:52.107-04:002014-08-19T19:44:52.107-04:00What ever happened to a boat pilot named Warren Wo...What ever happened to a boat pilot named Warren Worth??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-34539549306321324312011-01-15T11:54:01.570-05:002011-01-15T11:54:01.570-05:00Glad to hear that the boat captains still have the...Glad to hear that the boat captains still have the "sing-song" delivery.

The glass bottom boat may be a touristy thing to do, but it looks like fun to me. I'd love to do it some time.
