Thanks Moose,, so the engine I am thinking of is this one...but I also have an extra  SEL



It may not be powerful enough and I need to opt for a twin... but .....?


I think this is a Stuart ST.
I have one with the boiler new in a never opened sealed box from the 1950's.

Aye, I said it was a Stuart Turner when Mo first got it. I have the V-Twin Version.

What boiler did yours come with Gil? The double drum one?

As I said the box is sealed so I have never seen it. By the size of the box I would say it must be the single horizontal marine boiler.

And John prediction care through!! Paypal refunded all my money...I shipped the Furniture store decorator boat back to where it came from!!

Well done on getting it sorted out, they didn't take long to decide in your favour either.

Glad you got it sorted out quickly.
Nothing worse than feeling ripped off by a seller.

PayPal has saved my bacon twice now...once after filing a claim they decided in my favor...other time I just threatened to file a PayPal claim and the seller relented and sent me my money.

It's a good tool to have in your hip pocket for the inevitable day when a seller attempts to misrepresent his product or won't honor a simple refund.

They came through for me twice, but one of those times got me a Neutral Feedback.
