Found this the other day, and thought it might make a good Covid project after I finish the engine I'm working on now (or some day....).
I haven't seen one for sale in years.
The boat kit is complete and not yet started, and comes as it was originally sold, without the engine and boiler, but I was pleasantly surprised to find them in the box!
In the box I also found a snazzy electric motor which also could power the boat. I've never seen one like it before.
Hope you all like it.

Nice find.
The pittman boatmaster is probably a model 9003 and was/is a great motor. Used in slot car building as well as boats.

Any idea of what size fuse should be used in the Pittman motor?

Hi, I have one I bought some time ago and never quite completed (which now that I have a little more time I plan on completing.. mostly just some cosmetic finishing touches). The kit goes together nicely. Have fun and enjoy! You can install R/C electronics so you can steer the rudder. I did on mine (although I probably need to update the electronics which are very old at this point). My interest in steam has been rekindled due to inheriting some steam engines from a friend who passed away so my boat will certainly be finished up!

Here is a pic of mine so far.. just needs the canopy finished and some of the brass cosmetic details added.

Nice!
