Hi, I have a very strong desire to build a steam boat before my cancer finally gets me. I’ve seen a nice boiler and v twin on Amazon for about a thousand pounds that I would like to put into something like the African queen. So I can see the workings. But they are probably rubbish. I’m after any advice that you can give me. I’m in north Wales. Thanks in advance.
Hi Garry. The best advice would be to head down to https://www.facebook.com/groups/259628516520065 where you could hopefully get some tips and advice in person.
