BEST OPEN CLASS BOAT

DARYL CANADA- Push Me Pull Me- the loopiest boat you will ever see…yet

Note-He may look like a pro now– but he started where many of you did – you have to make your first boat to ever get to the next one!! Inspiring to say the least..

BEST OVERALL BOAT

The award you have been waiting for……..Decided by the hand carving, painting and decoration, a rudder and tiller bar with year of manufacture and name inscribed for all to see.

The full deal boat….

In the true spirit of boat building…….

Liisa will be very proud

Congratulations go out to the winner of the 2010 WWPPBB………

Timmonade- Liisa 2010

A round of applause for everyone involved....I will be unveiling the prizes later this week ( when they arrive in the mail) I will then need shipping address of all the winners!

And YES- ALL winners will get something

Thanks I hope all had fun and learned a little...We will be seeing you around the boats section I hope

Disclaimers:

I mogogear threw this mess onto the MAOS Forum for the blatant purpose of trying to lure more members into the exciting world of steam boating. I choose the winners and if you don't like anything I have done with this thing- I invite you to participate next year in either helping in organizing the second event or build a better boat !! I welcome you with open arms baby

Thanks to everyone!!
Well, I had fun

But I'll still keep on experimenting with the boat in the summer, till I get it running.

By the way, a real steam launch is on the way of construction

Soldering the boiler right now.

While I was shopping for the prizes I contacted a gentleman who runs a on-line pop pop boat site -I ordered the prizes and I included a link to what I was doing ...

The world is a grand place, in his reply he told me flat out he was impressed and would be more than happy to donate all the prizes and ship them to be at no charge. He then declined for me to give him credit..

We aren't that kind of site and where would our hobby be without suppliers and merchants to have what we need when are ready to buy or need...

So here is a rousing THANK YOU - to Jason Hood of

SPACE TIN

You can find him and his products at

http://www.spacetin.com/

If anyone you know is looking for a Pop Pop / Put Put Boat-- patronize his shop !!

Jason - you 'da man!

OK- to be correct in how we go about getting address' and mailing out prizes

To be in good stead with forum rules and with parents of the younger members.

All non-adult aged winners- Please consult with your parents about how to mail the prize to you.

I am happy to address the package to a parent so as not to cause concern. I am a parent myself so make sure you do the correct thing.

I will PM each winner to ask for shipping address.

Thanks

greg
