Bernie Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 A week ago I spotted something across the yard. I went over to have a look. Wow! Haven't seen anything like this one. The guys over at the boat shop have been working on something that I'd like to see in action when it's completed. A fellow had the guys build him a boat to install a steam engine into. They constructed the hull, then the fellow installed the steam engine. Now it's back to have the seats, floor and some details made to complete it. When you stop for a shore lunch just pick up a little bit of driftwood and away you go again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 That's pretty cool Bernie! Hopefully it'll still be around in a couple of weeks... I believe that we are stopping by the shop on the way up. Uhmm... where would they get the water for the steam? HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I can imagine the tickets the vessel operator will need to posess. Steam propulsion is not as simple as some would have you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
