Design and build your own, as I did using scrap materials for less than £30.

I can let you have a copy of my booklet on how to make it if you want.

Isn't it a thing of beauty, I would love one 
It even has a reserve tank to top itself up when the water level gets low.

John, you are a genius. Brilliant piece of Engineering! 
But like most geniuses, you fail to understand that us normal guys are clueless in that department and probably always will be. 
Congrats,

Richard,
I would forget that one, it would need hell of a boiler to keep it going.

Richard, have you thought about the Graham Industries engines? Have a look at http://www.grahamind.com/
They're self-assembly machined kits. On their website you can see them installed in several boats. Maybe add a boiler from Maccsteam, about whom I've heard nothing but good.....both see incredibly good value for money.
http://maccsteam.com/
I'm afraid I know NOTHING about hulls apart from the simple wooden ones I've dealt with, but I know a lot of people like the Krick hulls.
