Still have it but no motor, pretty much junked out.

Seems to me that you could film that boat with fast frames (slow down the rhythm of the engine) and use it for a Hollywood miniature - a new career for Pitchy!

You do amazing work.

Thanks, I`m pretty pleased with it, I made another like it with a older engine that isn`t near as fast.

Oh goodness.......I'm beside myself. That one really takes the cake! That little man you have behind the boat even dresses like me...jeans and a flannel shirt.

Sometimes I still wished I smoked weed as being buzzed and watching that would have me rolling over and over. :D ------Great bro!------6

Does the motor draw its water from the watering tank to build its steam?

No water tank, just the boiler that holds water and makes the steam.
