Mentzer built engine
FOR SALE: New Steam Engine 2.5" x 3"
Single cylinder engine made in 2006 by Don Mentzer of Medford Oregon. Don's work is highly regarded by the NWSS community. This engine has seen compressed air but never touched live steam. There is a virtual twin of this engine powering Wolfgang Schlager's Rose. Currently gracing my living room, the engine should really get out and be put to work. Includes feed pump, hackworth reversing gear. Email for more pictues. The engine is located in Vancouver, BC, CANADA and delivery could be arranged to the Bellingham, Washington area.

56 foot steel hull
FOR SALE: Burmah Queen
    LOA 56 feet, beam 12.5 feet, draft 6 feet. She was built in Germany for the Port Police of Hamburg, Germany and launched in 1926
    The boat is well known amongst the NWSS members and has participated in many meets and at one time was a "live aboard" for the current owner.
    The owner "hauled" her to remove the ageing scotch type boiler and found the hull also required replacing of plates in the "coal bunker" midship area. Age and funding have slowed the process and due to a sale of the storage property she must be moved. The engine, boiler and auxilliary machinery have been removed and are stored at the owner's shop.
    Additional information may be found at: HERE
 
$12,000 "as is, where is" including all machinery.
