I am wanting to build my own boat. I have built my own steam engine from scratch. They are pretty easy but it isnt fancy or anything and it is not fast but it is pretty powerful. I am going to put it on a paddle wheel or something with a massive prop(home built). these things are awsome to play around with. I will try to get a picture of it soon. What are you guys using for fuel. I use little gas pellets that are used for gas stoves, It gets pretty hot and lasts pretty long. I cant wait to get everything started (one thing I dont have is reverse) well later
