What is a hobby steamboat?
A lot of fun! It’s a hobby family and friends can enjoy. Wherever there’s a body of water on which you can float a boat ( and remember, over 3/4 of the world’s surface is water ), you can operate a steam boat. And you don’t need to split and carry wood. Depending on the design of the boiler, you can burn wood, coal, oil, or propane. Most of Reliable Steam Engine’s boilers are designed for oil ( wood takes up a lot of space ). If you’re environmentally conscious, bio-diesel can be used with no modifications.
