The good underwater lines of the hard chine hull will allow for many variations in cabin
(or no cabin) on this trailerable stern wheeler. Her best arrangement may be a simple
canopy aft and pilot house set at main deck level.
Excerpt from one of the plan sheets
The pitman arms driving the stern wheel receive their motion from a jackshaft, which is
chain driven by either a 10 - 15 HP steam or 40 HP gasoline engine.
And another excerpt from the plan sheets
Both these excerpts are overviews, obviously. Not details
Two horizontal, long stroke engines, designed for stern wheel service could also be used
to create true authenticity.
And still another excerpt from the plan sheets
Just a tiny portion of some details...
The drawings show steel construction, but 1/2" plywood could be used. Construction of the
stern wheel is detailed.
