Great stuff, I'm interested in what people are doing with the Inga IV to give me some ideas what to do with it🙂

Gary , yes I think your right because I was surprised by the weight of the boiler alone when I unpack it ,so yes I will be making that check first.
Andi1 the blog on the Inga iv is already a long way through

Inga IV, I'd love to see your progress as I am sorting one out.

Hi Mike, first and foremost congratulations and a long wait for your finally arrived Steam Plant bits. I am guessing that your boiler is 3 1/2" in diameter, and am concerned with regards to the weight factor in a 36" ish open hull. I would definitely suggest a floatation test with all the gear in the hull plus water in the boiler. Having just tried this myself the same boiler with a TVR1A engine the results were quite frightening, and am contemplating raising the hull height 1" to create more draft and a bit of a safety margin. I have a nice unused three cylinder oscillating engine if you are interested. Regards, Gary.

Nice, my new plant arrived a couple of days ago from Clevedon Steam. I did post a video on this forum somewhere...
