Looking like it is coming along nicely! I really like how you fabricated the valve spool.

Re: Best Venue to Advertize Sale of a Steamboat
Mack, I was given some drawings from John York that are of the Tule Princess and some of the machinery. I believe he had done some machine work for David Sarlin in her construction. I had them scanned by a local blueprint shop. Where can I send the digital files?

Re: Traditional Steam Launch Propeller
On the Sandin we used to have to pull weeds off the prop every time we left the dock. Eurasian milfoil was the bane of our existence. We used one of these 3-tined gardening tools to rip and pull the stuff off the prop. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DeWit-52-in-L-handle-55-in-L-3-Tine-Long-Handle-Culti...

Re: Nice video of Klamath Lake steamboat meet back in 2019
I'm 38, and there's a number of steamboat interested folks around here in their 20's and 30's... Unfortunately cost of living makes it all but impossible for them to afford even a used one as storage and a place to work on it becomes the main issue.

Re: Adding a fresh water tank...
Hi Bart,
On the Sandin we have a 35 gallon tank. With steam atomizing and excessive use of the whistle we could steam a whole weekend+ without refilling.
3+5x4" scripps compound (approximately 200rpm), Semple VFT40 boiler, York/Williams steam atomizing burner.

That is a great video Bart. Wish we had more exposure like that and the ones back east.

Re: Monotube Javelin
Hi Fred, What part of California is the concern you're consulting for located? Make it out that way much? What kind of square footage of heating surface and hp figures are you looking at getting out of that plant? Room to force it and turn it up to eleven? 15mph is well past the contemporary hobby s...

Is the boat still in the water where someone could make a video for you Mack?

Hi Mac, International Steamboat Society is all but defunct. The guy running it kind of slipped away into the ether.
