If you could plumb steam to the engine you might be able to do this, but

There have been a number of successful designs that have accomplished this
goal. You won't get 150hp out of it, but certainly enough power to move a s
mall skiff at a decent speed- 8hp or so. Traditional boiler designs are too
heavy, but the Serpollet monotube works quite well. Check out Wally Mounst
er 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.

Somewhere around here, I've the plans for a Steam Powered Model Aeroplane from ~1908. Not sure it would scale up, though.

Lindbergh wasn't even close to the first to fly cross the Atlantic, either.
