    Steam Launch

    Here is a steam launch I am working on. Been a few years in the making, working on it when I have time.
    Hull is a Diana 50" by Hartman fiberglass. Engine is a Krick/Wilesco Model II. I had initially planned to use the Krick/Wilesco boiler but it does not produce enough steam volume. So I am now using a Cheddar Puffin 9 flue vertical boiler. 15lbs of lead roofing sheet required for ballast.

    How fascinating these boats with real steam engines are!
    I love them so much, I hope to build them myself someday.
