Title: Howdy
Post by: mightydog on November 10, 2011, 05:45:48 AM

Just wanted to say Hi to all the members.  Just joined and living in Northwest Florida.  My main interest is researching and then building a 45 to 50 foot stern paddlewheel house boat using a real cross compound long stroke steam engine and boiler rather than diesel or what have you.  Inefficient?  yup but long on style!!.  lol  Feel free to say hello.
