[modeleng] Re: Steam Boats

Ah, yes!  I am looking at a photo of the 6-A and I feel that it will power your 
19 foot hull very well.  Being a compound condensing engine, it ought to be 
economical to operate.  What sort of boiler do you propose to power it with?  I 
have heard a rumor that Merryweather type boilers are being re-introduced to 
the market.  Is there any truth to that rumor??  Best of luck with your project 
and maybe you can post some photos on Alan's site.
