Small launch in Aptos, CA

Post by 87gn@tahoe » Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:35 am

I received an email with a request to forward to any steamboater the following:



>I have to get my boat to a good home now - my wife has given me an ultimatum to get
it out of the driveway. I had hoped to get $4000 for it, but if I don't sell it now, it
will go to a tax-break non-profit, and I would weep to see it headed for the scrap yard.
>
> This would be a great chance for someone to get into steaming at a low cost. Please give her back a life on
the water!
>
> Thanks

> - Dan

> > The boat is an 18 foot Grand Banks Hull built by Will Grundwald. The engine is
a 2 1/2"X 21/2" single, condensing (Keel type), Blackstaffe-Wood type boiler
with Kerosene burner, and 12" X 15" screw. It comes complete with trailer(!)
and most parts of a gas conversion for the boiler. I would like to get $4000. I live in
Aptos, CA and can be reached at; SOLD

The boat has found a new home with the Kinetic Steam Works in Oakland, CA

She will be used as a tender for their Paddlewheeler and a training vessel.
