Re: Outboard Steam engine motor

s goal. You won't get 150hp out of it, but certainly enough power to move a small skiff at a decent speed- 8hp or so. Traditional boiler designs are t oo heavy, but the Serpollet monotube works quite well. Check out Wally Moun ster and Terry William's designs.

You are exactly right, Chas. Thanks for mentioning my steam outboard. I ran it for a number of years beginning in 1989, and accumulated over 1500 hour s on it. It now sits on my patio in need of a little TLC>

I seem to recall a steam jet outboard marketed in Europe (or atleast promoted) a dozen or so years ago.
