Yes, ALL brass. I think it was home built by the previous owner who was a machinist by trade. Design similar in some ways to a Stuart 501 but also with some differences.
I will post more as I get it cleaned up and pressure tested

Yes the safety valve looks to be Stuart but I have never seen a Stuart boiler like this. I have a couple of 501's and the 5 tubes on this one look very much like the 501. BUT this boiler is ALL brass no copper. Looks to have a couple of stay rods with nuts on either end that tie the end caps to the boiler body. Never seen one like that.

The boiler could be an early stuart judging by the safety valve...

The engine is a Stuart Double 10. The boiler looks a bit dodgy, have it hydraulics tested and checked over before steaming. Brong it to working pressure in increments, ie take up to 10 psi, cool, take to 20 psi and so on until you reach working pressure. Look for numbers stamped into the boiler, usually around the burner tube, there numbers will be needed for a test certificate. The hull looks free lance...

Hello all I am looking for some help possibly identifying this steamship - or steam boat. I was told it was built in the late forties - early fifties. I am not sure if a kit or more likely from plans. I believe it may have had a structure above the deck?
Engine is of course a Stuart D10. Any ideas on the boiler? It is all brass not copper. Has 5 tubes below the tank like a Stuart 501 as well as circular tube coil at the far end. Has a steel tray for fuel. Possibly a cotton bat soaked in alcohol?
