Only ever seen one in Basil Harley's book. Beautiful!!!! logoman both lovely boats Murray. The picture I want to see is you swimming with them! Les   I like them. talluncle31 Talluncle31 Chart paddler and launch I don't have a photo of me in the water with my boats, but I do recommend that you try it with your own in any suitable water. With your eyes at the water level you get the true perspective. Similarly with trains, you have to have your eye just above track level to really see them properly.

CuriousSteam That paddle boat looks cool tinkttt launch any chance of some close ups and a tape measure so i could make or atempt a reproduction,is this an original meteor chasis? duncandumpertruck Impressive! One maker i've never heard of and TWO boats! I like the paddle steamer, are they good runners? talluncle31 Chart paddler I can send more details of the paddle boat in a day or two to those who let me know they are interested. Both Chart boats are excellent runners. The paddle boat has the advantage that it is not easily stalled by weed.

Murray Wilson Couldn't agree more.  We're nearly always in the water with our boats.  Not so sure that would be true in the UK, however.        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Steam Launches and Boats Page 1 of 1
