for the right boat, a 2,000# wood-fired steam engine is the right engine, too.

Not many boats are right for that, but at least one with a totally dedicated
owner wanting a character boat there is.

Neil,

Don't let JAX scare you off. For the right boat that old SABB is exactly
the right engine. It has a variable (and reversible) pitch prop which is
a fantastic idea. I just don't have the room on my boat to swing that
much prop 8-(

If I had any idea at all I would never have posted.

You tell us.


Hi,
Anyone have a clue what a Sabb 10hp (with drive) would
be worth in he USA? It has been rebuilt a while back apparently. The
owner
wants an offer, but I have no idea what the motor is worth.
Any comments would be appreciated.

thanks,
