The smilies above say it all, i am so happy with it. It came well packed and full of extras i did not expect. Guys, this engine is well worth every penny and if you are contemplating  one....please get it!!









I have already given short run with the compressor but i will make a video soon.

Congrats Kenneth, what a jewel of an engine. I'm having trouble with the scale - how big is it? When you do a video, can you put something familiar in the shot for scale?

And congrats to you too Miles, on such a fine product. Yes, I'll buy one one of these days. Still working on the boiler.

That looks like a good bouler for the Tribute Kenneth, will you change the thing that it is mounded on to lower the centre of gravity in the boat, or will it be a display set up?

I will remove the boiler mount if it is a shallow hull but if its a deep hull i will let it be as it is and put good ballast at the bottom instead.
