If you want something that will show those "stinkpot" boaters speed, Panatela
(named after the long, trim cigar) will show them her heels.
Although the
5 HP Compound and
4 - 7 HP Ofeldt boiler
are recommended, if you were to fit the
Double Simple Engine (high speed!) and use the
15 - 40 HP Monotube Boiler, she'd
"leap out from under ya."
Of flat sheet plywood construction and
hard chine,
she is still a graceful boat, but not designed for open water.
A Part of Sheet #2
Recommendations, that go along with...
Steam Engine 4HP Single Cylinder  Plans $50.00 USD | Unknown product... | -- OR -- | Steam Engine 2 Cyclinder, Single Acting Compound or Double Simple  Plans $50.00 USD | Steam Boiler 15 - 40HP Ofeldt  Plans $40.00 USD |
* All plans are "shipped" electronically, as PDF files.
If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to
adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click
here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.
(Personally, we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe products], but that's your call.)
BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way, actually) to move documents around electronically.

HP (in this context) means Horse Power.
(Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550
foot-pounds per second
or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary)
watts, and is the usual
measure of the amount of work an engine can do.
Oddly enough, not that closely related to the amount of work a Horse can do! (Go figure.)
See Does one horsepower really equal the power of one horse? (at www.carkeys.co.uk) for more information on that subject.
