Paddle wheel gears and mechanicals
« on: February 11, 2022, 05:06:22 pm »

I am thinking of converting a old hull into a steam paddle boat boat but can't seem to find how to do it or buy a kit with the appropriate gears, paddles etc to do it.
Any suggestions. Here is a pix of the hull.

It maybe me, but it is an odd shape for a paddler, (well in full size anyway)
I know Colin Bishop has worked on a paddler maybe he can help  :-))

I agree. When I got the hull from a club member here in Ottawa/Canada, it was for a paddle boat. It has 2 flat sides.
