SOLD
Marine Engine and matched Boiler from 30' steam launch. Boiler work done 30 years ago now, but included a new half bottom of the barrel, a new front tube plate (riveted) and all new copper tubes.
Since then boiler probably only steamed for 300 hrs at most. The boiler is a "Gun Boat" type with a 24 inch long firebox at one end and two hundred odd 1 1/4" copper fire tubes running parallel to each other on a horizontal plane with the smoke box bolted onto the front tube plate. Comes with super heater and feed water heater that was in the smoke box.
Engine has short stroke feedpump and engine driven vacuum pump. Pre heater on exhaust for feed Water. Condenser was a simple keel type.
Boiler worked at 125psi. Engine is 5" + 9" x 5 3/4" stroke. Prop is 24" by 36" pitch on a stainless shaft.
All boiler fittings are complete and were re-worked during commissioning with no problems.
This is a very rare combo of engine and original matching boiler.
