The slow, quiet sound of paddle wheels moving through the water must be experienced
to be believed - and Rebel will allow you to do that. Her shallow draft allows you
go into weed choked backwaters, and the quiet of the walking beam engine will let
you sneak up on waterfowl - a great steamboat for bird-watching. Graceful lines suitable
for flatsheet material construction (one drawing is for steel construction).
Except from the Rebel plans
She can be constructed in your garage and the drawings thoroughly detail everything including the fabrication and mounting of the paddle wheels.
Recommendations, that go along with...

* All plans are "shipped" electronically, as PDF files.
If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to
adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click
here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.
(Personally, we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe products], but that's your call.)
BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way, actually) to move documents around electronically.

HP (in this context) means Horse Power.
(Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550
foot-pounds per second
or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary)
watts, and is the usual
measure of the amount of work an engine can do.
Oddly enough, not that closely related to the amount of work a Horse can do! (Go figure.)
See Does one horsepower really equal the power of one horse? (at www.carkeys.co.uk) for more information on that subject.
