I'd love to see this sail again, but postage and import duties prevent me from being the captain of this one.

Do you think it weighs that much?

If you want to bid, I could ship it from here and declare a lower value. Let me know

That's  handy to know, I've paid about £600 in duties this year.

I have to say that my interest is up on this little boat

Just to be above board..I may have to have a swing at the paddler just for grins..It does look as if it could be R/C pretty easy just for tiller control...

Hope you get it Mo!
It looks like it has potential, I can imagine it steaming down the Mississippi. (Hope that's spelled right!)

Sweet..that was a nice low price for a steam boat..even a plastic one

Dance!  Upside down!  Dance!  Upside down!  Dance!  Upside down!

I do not know if you bid or not Newsteamer...? So I hope I didn't walk on you. I just put it on my Sniper and went to my daughters soccer practice.

The seller is about 100 miles from me and I am tempted to pick it up...but the postage is easy and cheaper than fuel..I sure look forward to this first paddler... even though it is little more than a toy...
-- a little elbow grease should help her look a little better!
