(Thanks very much for the ordering info -- and the thoughtfulness) Dearest Amy,thank you very much for looking out for me. I actually have one of those versions of the boat (but fortunately I didn't pay anywhere near $750 for it -- $50 actually). The one I got didn't have the boiler but that's ok because I'm just using the hull to make a remote control version as a present for my brother when his backyard pool is finished. (hopefully Tom is busy on his movie and not reading this). The boat I'm looking for is going to reside in our 'Disneyland Guest room'. It will have the closet covered with fake stone to mimic the castle walls and the bed mattress will be resting on the lowered drawbridge in front of the rounded closet opening (I don't think the dimensons will allow for an actual Murphy style bed). The opposite wall will be covered with a giant (6' x 9') wallpaper map of Disneyland (I think Sears sold them in the 60's or 70's) that I found on Ebay. It has that cool painterly look closely resembling the late 60's park map -- really beautiful looking (and I couldn't believe one could still exist that hadn't already been glued onto a wall). I'm going to mount the wallpaper sections on panels so it's movable if that ever became necessary. I was also lucky enough to pick up some cool full size fiberglass Disney characters from displays after the closing of Disney Stores that will welcome you to the room. There's a bunch of other stuff I've collected over the years (including some real props from the rides) that will find a home in that room as well. I'll post a picture of some of the stuff I have collected for that room in the next day or so if anyone is interested. With my injuries from the car accident all I can do at the moment is dream and plan. I'm just hoping this stuff will end up the way it looks in my head. The fun part is trying. Thank you my awesome TC friends for your kindness, thoughfulness and inspiration. I truly, truly mean it. John
