I am a student at McPherson College in McPherson Kansas. I am an Antique Automobile Restoration Major and I am doing reasearch on the early Daimler gas engines. I would like any information that anyone would have on these 17 degree v-twin engines. They were produced from 1888 to the early 1900's and were mainly used to power motorboats. Thank You for your help

Thanks for the information. Do any of you know if these boats still exist. If so where are they.

There is a Daimler engine in a museum... I can't remember which one. It is shown in one of Stan Grayson's books. I think it is in one of the Engines Afloat books.
Regards,
Andrew

I had a marine Kanstat(sp?) Daimler 1896/7 vee twin engine no 737??? which was complete with its reversing leather lined cone clutches on a marine bedplate, but was seized up and had some hairline cracks in places as a result. All the vapourising gear was missing. I had built up quite an archive of information, including a copy of the makers build details from the Daimler archives. This was quite a number of years ago, and I eventually sold the engine to a doctor (a member of the Steam Boat Association) in Germany who does a lot of restoration of boats etc., and I thought it best for the engine to be back in Germany.
There is also an original 1895 27' launch called "Progress" owned and in use by a member of the Steam Boat Association here in the UK. The original diesel engine for this is in the Science Museum in London.
For other information see chapter 3 in "Speedboat" by D.W.Fostle on Steinway's(of piano fame) boats with Daimler engines.
Also "The Engineer" of june 12th 1896 (page 596) illustrates and gives a very good detail of a "narrow gauge self propelled tram car" with a vee twin Daimler engine.
Sorry I don't have my archive any more with some great plate photographs etc, but I can let you have the dotors address and phone number in Germany - email me
