Hi, looks like an early ice-breaker with a bow like that.

Nice piece of history, but Oh that prop, that cannot be original

That propshaft looks a little inadequate!!

A lot of character and potential though.

What a fabulous boat! It looks original and it would be a crime to 'restore' it as it has aged very naturally and has a higher interest factor as it stands than if you had stripped and rebuilt it. I suggest the reason the prop is so small is because the engine appears to be a single acting oscillator and would be run at an unregulated high speed. This prop would not overload the engine and drag the rpm down and would probably produce the correct amount of thrust for the given rpm of the engine.
I for one would love to find a treasure like this.
