    Wow, talk about being in your element! Liked your music at the start, made me smile. I had no idea steam engined boats were that small or that many still exist! It must have taken a few for towing.Had to use the captions once the boat tourman began speaking, kind of a thick accents. Seems like if you wrapped cords w/ electricians tape that would protect them(sometimes twisting them messes them up). SO many cool boats & the models=$! Thank you so much.

    Was at the show day1. Fantastic day out. Drove up from the Waikato just to be there.
    Planning on going again next year. 😊
    We saw your boat but no one aboard.

    Highlight for me too on the steamboat I noticed he didn’t keep the door open very long. Got to keep that pressure up.

    Smearing vaseline on your electrical connections will help reduce corrosion significantly without damaging them.

    Hello James , with the experience of these years on Traiteia, if you started all over again, what boat would you buy?
