Now for sale: https://www.northweststeamsociety.org...
Hull- A 26" fiberglass "surf boat" replica made by Mosquito Enterprises of Everett, Washington.

Engine- An original New Old Stock U.S. Navy Model "K" compound steam engine. Piston valve for the High Pressure (HP) piston, and "D" Slide valve for the Low Pressure (LP) piston. Stevenson Link reverse gear. The engine transmits power through a 1.5:1 ratio planetary gear setup to slow the engine and increase propeller speed (hull limits propeller diameter, and this engine being VERY large for this boat has a lot of power to give).

Boiler- A diesel-fired Babcock-Wilcox (B&W) style watertube boiler of approximately 100sqft heating surface.
