Great video, nice camera work and explanation of the engine and boiler. I like the two piston design, I am thinking the steam enters the small piston and goes from there to the larger piston for efficiency? I built a wood powered steam turbine to electricity machine but I was not that happy with the efficiency so I built a piston steam engine but I'm not yet totally happy with it, I may want to learn more about the engine you have, thanks, cheers, Ken
@@RoadJournal can you contact me im looking forward to talk to you im interested in the boat but im looking to have one built can you possibly help me build one
Matt Seymour I don't own a steam engine craft, my great uncle worked on the railroads here in the US for over 50 years. Learned a lot about steam power. His basement and six barns were filled with old steam engines and steam generators.
Love the slow revving engine, so many run fast like an IC engine.
Fun video!
Awesome

Thanks for the compliments... Keep up the good work!
Yep, less steam for mor power because wen it leaves the smaller cylinder it still has energy to expand.

I would love to ride that
When do you have those creek runs (dates and months)? I would love to take a ride.
There's mama's boys, and then there's dudes with steam boats that they named after their mamas
Nice steam boat. Why do you prefer wood to coal ?
Matt Seymour one presumes wood is easier to come by in many regions these days.
Wood is cheaper, easier to acquire, and requires less maintenance, than coal.
@@williamgosvener47 yes that's very true. What wood do you use?

@@williamgosvener47 sounds good. What locos did he work on?
Ok but not a steamboat
