Firedup,
`Congratulations on a beautiful first build, it's great to see some scratch building and as it's your first steam boiler and engine also, you have made a great job of it. I have looked at your You-Tube video and the engine and pump run well.
I'll bet you can't wait for the weather to change and get it out on the water.  WELL DONE.
George.

Not the first boat I have built but the first venture into model engineering, boiler making and clinker hulls.
Sharp learning curve and an even bigger swear box.

No water just ice at the moment :} :}
I have used the time to make one or two changes including making a bi pass valve and taking the feed water through the oil separator to pre heat the water.

Good evening! :-)
Lovely boat and very good work ! O0
I like the clinker hull and the good idea of pre-heating water to send to boiler! :-))
