Thanks, Chugalone,
I do love that boat, especially the Walking Beam Steam engine that the original had.
I have been to Lake Winnipesaukee, many times and can only imagine her plying the waters.
I'm sure with your skills you would have no trouble building her.
Check out River Rat's Blog as he also built her, He did a great job!
I also added another picture and a video to Mt Washington in my Harbor

Started the Runabout.
Using my Lion Miter trimmer to cut the planks, and my block plane to
trim to the chine. Then a sanding block for the final fit.

Thankyou Mates for your very kind words!
I do have some fairing to do on the hull due to the addition of the added lead keel, which I will do in the spring. At that time i will post more pics.

Completed Pictures.
I had to add Lead Ballast to the keel to keep her from capsizing.
I posted a photo and a video of the steam engine operating, before it was installed.

Hi Ron,
I believe they still have the antique boat show in August at Clayton, NY.
Definitely worth seeing.

Hey Dave,
I am not particularly drawn to double enders. However, the Typhoon is an exception! As you said She is so sleek and beautiful that it is hard to take your eyes off her😍😍
She looks like she is going 70 mph standing still.

On eBay I was able to acquire the Midwest "Marine Electric Power System" for the vessel.

Sorry Mates, I have been remis in my postings.
Breaking away from the HO I have done some work on the Seguin.
Primed the Hull.
Trial Fitting of the steam engine and boiler.
Neighbor's yard flooded, thought about taking my yachts out 🙄🙄
Constructed the raised aft deck (needs to be removable).
Installed cap rails.
Built the fore and aft tow bits (still finishing).
Just Realized the stern bit should have been athwartship (OPPS) Must have had a senior moment😂🤣.
Miles to go before I sleep😴😴😴

You certainly did her Justice.
Done in record time. If memory serves me correctly the directions say 18 Months?

Thats a tough one Dave
You could use double sided tape. I used that with limited success on my Typhoon, as some fittings are very small.
On other boats I have drilled the fitting for a small pin and drilled a corresponding hole in the model. Then used a little CA to glue it to the model.
Not much help I'm afraid.
