Description

1959 Buehler Turbocraft. Bill Siegenthaler found this boat on Seventh Lake in the Adirondacks. Designed in 1959 with a Hamilton marine jet drive. President of the Indiana Gear Works John Buehler bought the production rights from C.W.F. Hamilton, which was based in New Zealand. The pump intake is flush with the hull, a steel grate. Definitely a "no frills" design but an important boat.
