Geezer Boatworks Page 4 - Concept Boats

So far, this paddlewheel version of "Lisa B. Good" is just a dream. Paddlewheelers are impractical, but so are all pleasure boats.  I was thinking about an 8 hp Briggs and Stratton here, with a simple idler to tighten the belt for a clutch. Reverse would be a sweep or a pole on the forward deck.  But shouldn't there be a boiler and a pile of wood on the forward deck?  Maybe make the hull a couple feet longer?  "Life for me is a riverboat fantasy"                              David Wilcox

Coming Soon to a Website Near You! Maybe, if I can just stick at it for another 4 drawings.  Progress is a bit slow at the moment. Complete detailed construction drawings for the House Barge "Miss Katie".
