Hi Pete,
Engine, boiler and boat were designed and built by me.   took a while.....





Pete49:
very nice  :jumpingsmileys: Just love the vessel. Saw a nice fantail launch of about 18ft on the river a couple years ago and sat and watched it for and hour as it steamed around the area we were at. Made my day it did

Wow!  I've seen pics of the engine and some closeups of the installation but this is the first I've seen of you and the boat under way. Great stuff.  Even sitting here in 90? Florida, I can feel the crisp air and warm sunshine in those pictures.  Wish I was there!

What does it take to prepare for a day out?  What kind of fuel and how much?  How long to raise steam? What body of water is that? Do you have any photos of the boat build that you could post?

Jerry
