Owner says "SELL THIS BOAT" & will seriously consider 35 to 40 foot sail or power liveaboard trade in on this Paddle Wheel boat for near term sale.
Built on an 80' steel barge hull with 13 water tight compartments and 20’ of paddles behind, this is a magnificent boat. Previously USCG certified for 160 dinner guests, RIVER QUEEN, was driven to Detroit from Florida, used as land based restaurant addition, and has now been restored to an operating river boat. River Queen has been substantially reconfigured with a large wood paneled bar and lounge on the second level eliminating the upper galley. Stone backed wood burning stoves have been added on both levels and upgrades to the first floor galley includes new floor tile. The exterior has been totally refinished and new thermo-pane windows installed. RIVER QUEEN has three 4-71 Detroit Diesels, one driving the 100 Kw generator and the other 2 running the split paddle wheels through hydraulic motors. With pneumatic controls for both throttle and shift, the vessel is fully controllable from the raised pilot house; a bit of a challenge, but a absolute thrill to run. The hull and machinery are sound.

The view from the large raised pilot house is spectacular, no engine sound, a large beautiful pilot wheel with electric steering assist and the pneumatic engine controls provide a ‘king of the world’ feeling.
