About this boat
Built from scratch having just the vacuum formed hull from an old model.
The boiler and steam engine are faux as our club does not have permission from the local authorities to run real steam boats.
The Steam engine has been made to suit the space available. It runs via a 12v motor gearbox hidden behind the bulkhead see video.
The boiler has also been made with some specific requirements to house the smoke generator. Filling the smoke generator with distilled water is via a removable screw cap.
The boiler sits on a base unit. when the unit is installed into the boat power is via Magnetic Pogo Pin Connectors.
