She's a 1.5 x 3.0 x 2.5 compound for the boat I just launched. Design, and patterns and machining by me.
the second one shows the engine on the prony brake.

ooooh very nice!

I second Mike. I want to see the boat as well.

And Dave... how about a video of the engine?


Eric
 
Thankyou, but I don't have any video.

Heres a few more pictures though....the day I launched her. I am still finishing the boiler and that is not installed in these photo's....but this year I think

Thanks again

Nice looking launch. What are you doing for a boiler?

Eric
 
15 square foot Blackstaffe. Pressure vessel is done, it's the fire box and everything else! ::)
 
Dave the engine AND the boat are both true works of art!

Beautiful!

Rick
 
Thanks Rick,

I have to thank my wife whom without her support, it wouldn't have happened.

Dave
 
Hey thats real purty..I just started building the engine to build a steam launch but I guarantee it wont look that nice when I finish it ..Whats the length on the boat?..What you doing for a prop?
 
She's 25' x 5' beam

The first shot try at a prop is a 3 blade 16 x 18.....I may have to cut it down and pitch it up, but it's a start


Dave
 
Very sweet !

Any build pix on the engine ? I'd sure like to see some details on how you did the engine :)

Mike
 
Missed this when it was first up, damn fine craftsmanship sir!

Best Regards
 
Many thanks to you both.

I will see if I have anything on my PC regarding build pictures...
The cylinder blocks, and the back columns are cast iron to my patterns, while the rest of it is bar stock.
Thanks again,


Dave
 
also missed it before, looks great, boat and engine
 
Thanks McGyver!

I'm still searching for a few engine build photo's

I'll hunt around...

The engine is a 1.5" x 3.0" x 2.5" stroke compound.
