About
A steampunk, boat, airliner, and/or hot rod inspired seaplane. Takes off and lands only on water. The front opens up to allow loading and unloading of passengers via loading ramp. Two steampunk engines power this floating beast into the air. There are two underwater props; one is forward and the other is reverse or for stopping after landing. The wings have floats for stability on the water. The name comes from a favorite beer of mine.
