Outboard motors

Steam Outboard Motor

This has been sold, but I'll keep the photos up until I get the engine shipped.  Thanks John, for taking over this little beauty!

 

This is not an antique, but was built from a defunct 5hp outboard motor. The builder, (not myself) removed the old gasoline engine, and built a v-twin steam engine in its place. He also built the boiler, using a twin-tube flash design and Coleman gas camp stove burners. The burners have now been replaced with propane camp stove burners. If camp stove burners were good enough the first time, why mess with a good thing? Just these photos for now, but I'll post more information in time. Heck, it's only taken me a couple of years to post these photos... ;-)

 

1930s Champion

This good-running oldtimer was bought from another oldtimer. When I asked him if it ran, he replied, "Well it did last time I had it out, about 2 weeks ago..." Not a bad deal for the grand sum of $35US.

No pictures yet, but I'll get to them ASAP.
