> TL5 Steam Gunboat Having read Brandon's boat, I decided to do something else: * A gasoline engine rather than steam. Gas may be hard to find, but it makes a more compact boat. * Considerably lighter weapons, to fight of hordes of mutants rather than other ships. Three open mounts, fired by guys in the superstructure. * Technically there should be separate crew stations for the navigator etc., but I dodged those rules. Four crew on the open bridge, one in the engine room, five more in the tiny bunkroom.
