About this boat

Made in the 1980's from a simple, balsa hulled design in 'Model Boats' magazine. Powered by a purchased 'USE' single cylinder oscillating engine with a solid fuel fired boiler - converted by me to meths firing. No good on a windy day because the flat bottom has little hold on the water and the breeze affects the fire. (Motor: Unit Steam Engines (USE)) (6/10)
