I haven't seen one for sale in years. The boat kit is complete and not yet started, and comes as it was originally sold, without the engine and boiler, but I was pleasantly surprised to find them in the box! In the box I also found a snazzy electric motor which also could power the boat. I've never seen one like it before. Hope you all like it.

The pittman boatmaster is probably a model 9003 and was/is a great motor. Used in slot car building as well as boats. #Post#: 31938-------------------------------------------------- Re: Midwest Elliott Bay Steam Launch By: Hero Date: November 17, 2020, 4:47 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Any idea of what size fuse should be used in the Pittman motor? #Post#: 38467-------------------------------------------------- Re: Midwest Elliott Bay Steam Launch By: james1787 Date: March 13, 2021, 9:16 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I have one I bought some time ago and never quite completed (which now that I have a little more time I plan on completing.. mostly just some cosmetic finishing touches). The kit goes together nicely. Have fun and enjoy! You can install R/C electronics so you can steer the rudder. I did on mine (although I probably need to update the electronics which are very old at this point). My interest in steam has been rekindled due to inheriting some steam engines from a friend who passed away so my boat will certainly be finished up! #Post#: 38468-------------------------------------------------- Re: Midwest Elliott Bay Steam Launch By: james1787 Date: March 13, 2021, 9:25 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Here is a pic of mine so far.. just needs the canopy finished and some of the brass cosmetic details added. #Post#: 38495-------------------------------------------------- Re: Midwest Elliott Bay Steam Launch By: Hero Date: March 14, 2021, 8:23 am --------------------------------------------------------- Nice! *****************************************************
