Answers: 1. I believe the primary motivation for the Boston Duck founder Andy Wilson was to own and operate his own business. All along he wanted to be his own boss. He worked a corporate 9-5 job and he wanted a change as he was no longer interested or challenged by that lifestyle.

It said at the end of the case that the captains are to obtain a certain role during the tour to make it fun, they also have their Ducks painted very colorful and not to forget the 2700k passengers that quack
