A beloved San Marcos icon is in danger of being sent down the river -- so to
speak. The glass bottom boats at the Aquarena Center have been a popular
attraction since 1946. However, the cost to keep the boats running is greater
than the revenue they generate. The University Star reports that educational
tours at the Aquarena Center -- along with the boat tours -- provide some funds,
but not enough to cover the annual 60-thousand dollar cost to maintain the
boats. Glass bottom boat tours are nine dollars for adults, and students pay
only half price.
