Title: Sternwheeler Suter under power
Post by: gbritnell on December 19, 2007, 03:47:15 PM

Hi Eddy, it's been quite awhile since I visited the Paddleducks site but as I was browsing around I saw pictures of the Suter under it's own power. Quite a nice looking vessel you have there. When did you get her to this point? What more do you have planned to do on her?

Thanks George,

It was rushed into service for our "Paddler Day" in June, and performed better than I could have hoped for. The sternwheel support beams are wrong, but that will be corrected later, it was just the quickest way to get it ready to sail.

Sadly I haven't had time to do much more since then, too many family problems to deal with, but it should be completed next year with luck...
