    Yesterday we took the steering improvements out for a test and everything worked about as good as could be expected.

    Steam Launch parts acquired

    Real quick update on this as we took it out for another test run on May 20. We had a few things to test after last fall being a miserable flop. Prior to launching we fired the boat up in the driveway and tested the engine - all worked fine, so we pulled off the smokestack and drove it 45...

    @todhunter I see no reason that shouldn’t be possible. I’m going to leave this open for discussion a bit yet to let anyone else weigh in in case this has been done differently in the past.

    So it looks like we got a tie between @Reserector_ and @todhunter. I'll head out in the shop and run the traveling plaque through the tablesaw...
