I remember Ranger Hal! old footage of Jacksonville! Is that the old boat ramp at Beach Blvd?

[RangerHalJaxAdmin]

Based on my recollection, it is. I wish the clip had more of old Jax in the background, but it didn't.

I think that the first boat ramp is off of Blanding Blvd at the Cedar Creek and the second boat ramp is at the "duck pond" off of San Jaun ave. Don't know where the thrid ramp is located.

Now that is something I wouldn't know. Maybe you can ask someone else who has amphicar-theme videos here. It is a neat vehicle, but was incidental to the video I posted.

Would the owners have a gathering once a year to celebrate this awesome vehicle? If so, where??

[RangerHalJaxAdmin]

Yes, they are. And they still have an active community of owners and fans. A few of them contacted me after finding this video here.
