Geoff's Boats

Engine

The engine is a scratch built single cylinder slide valve pedestal unit with a bore/stroke of 3/4"x1".

It was completely dismantled , cleaned and
reassembled with new gaskets.

 

Hull

The hull was stripped back to bare timber as was the deck and most of the interior.
The rear hatch arrangement was improved and a laid deck installed. The combings were capped and a new rubbing strake together with a brass bowpiece were fitted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ready for the water

 

 

Boiler

The boat was originally fitted with a very big twin tube boiler with brass cladding.
I decided that it was all wrong for an Edwardian Thames launch.
I replaced it with a vertical boiler 3"x6" and gas fired.
I clad the boiler with timber and stained it to get the correct look [the timber is from coffee stirers]!
There are servos to control the steam outlet and the whistle.

 

Outboard Motor **SOLD**

For a long time I've been looking for a steam model outboard.
 The old Boucher ones rarely come up for sale and when they do they fetch silly money.
 A guy on one of the model boat forums built one and I asked if he would build me one. Here's the result.
The craftmanship is superb and it runs really well on steam.
