Heya Farmerden
I am sorry I missed this , this group is so dead that I very seldom check to see if anything new had been posted...

That is far better looking launch than the one I am working to build.Is the boiler inside that cabin? Favor us once more , tell us what the Steam Queen has for power plant.

Hi Farmer Den

What size is your boat? It looks like a fantastic launch.

The "Steam Queen" is 25 ft. long ,carvel planked yellow cedar with oak ribs. The engine is a compound designed and built by George Doughty, the same goes for the Roberts type boiler. the engine is 2 3/4X5X4 ,steams at 120lb blows off at 145lb blows up at - well we won't go there!! She burns used motor oil and runs just a tad over 6 knots [6.3]
As for your comment on the site all sites are only as good as those writing into it-sooo -lets use it!! Den
