Lurking is fine, learning is the way to go. Just join in from time to time, coz I'm sure we can learn some things from you!

Anyway, steamboats are just containers for stationary engines, and the container just happens to move.Mike Rometer wrote:Welcome Steamfan,cad68m_m wrote:Steam fan here, more stationary than boat, but always looking to lurk and learn.

Your hull may hold a steam power plant. Mine seems to be more optimized for holding money. And then making it disappear.
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

Mike, you're suppose to use wood or coal to fire the boiler, not bank notes!Lopez Mike wrote:Your hull may hold a steam power plant. Mine seems to be more optimized for holding money. And then making it disappear.

Re: Hello from Maryland
What?? All this time I've been wondering why it wouldn't hold a fire! This will change everything.
I wish.

Re: Hello from Maryland
Dang. My boat isn't even optimized for holding money. All I have to do is open my wallet and it's gone! Actually before my railing was up, I had a chair blown of my deck and into the deep when my back was turned. That's why I have to bolt the expensive stuff to the deck....Lopez Mike wrote:Your hull may hold a steam power plant. Mine seems to be more optimized for holding money. And then making it disappear.
