Wonderful!!! My idea of a wonderful afternoon. Just having to mind the boiler, oiling, watching for other boats, and setting out for a picnic. away from the rat race.

engine hp and rpm please?

HP and revs are probably 2 HP @ 500rpm at best. The blue hulled boat does about 6 HP @ 450 rpm.

Both boats are privately owned and represent the ends of the range of trailable steam launches owned in the UK.There are slightly larger boats on Windermere.

Was that the Avon Valley Railways River bridge you went under?
Great video by the way!

Absolutely beautiful!!
I'm building a 30 foot launch and am looking for an engine like yours. Any suggestions? I plan on using her on lake Superior in Minnesota when the waves aren't so bloody high.
Great job!

@butch356 - Just got to keep looking in the magazines and on e-bay. A lot of us here build our own from castings that are on sale from various foundries.
