JOE BOWEN HAS PASSED AWAY

THE COMPONENTS FOR HIS FINAL STEAMBOAT PROJECT WERE SOLD

AS A COMPLETE UNIT.

AS HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIS PROJECT COMPLETED

SOLD

COMPONENTS INCLUDED:

    A new 2 x 2.5 inch double-acting vertical engine designed and made by Joe. 

    This engine is of museum quality finish, well above the average quality. Reverse via very smooth slip eccentric.

    The engine was for Joe's own use and is meticulous!  Here's a short movie of the engine running on compressed air.

       and a few other pictures of the engine

An appropriately sized Roberts-type water tube boiler.  Used, but very good condition.

Prop and shaft.

Sixteen foot fiberglass "peapod" double-ended hull. Finished deck and stuffing box and rudder assembly.

Complete with fitted trailer.  Used, excellent fiberglass condition.  Interior furnishings were to be removed and redesigned.

Hull is very sleek, well keeled.  Should handle very well.

A beautiful hand-made whistle was included.  Small collection of miscellaneous parts, including a whistle valve, included.
