Steamboats on Lake Nockamixon Bucks County PA

Went to a steamboat meet today that's held on Lake Nockamixon four times a year.
The boat pictured is owned by Don Fenstermacher of Quakertown Pa. This is the first year on the lake for the boat and he's doing a shake down cruse. Still a lot to be done on the boat till completion. He says at the October meet he'll have a roof over the boat.

This boat is all fiberglass an is run entirely on wood and has a 5 HP 2 cylinder engine. It'll do about 8 mph full throttle. Got to love the dedication these guys have to the hobby.

You can find more the hobby at the North American Steam Boat Association.
