Buehler Turbocraft Hamilton Jet Boat, Rare James Bond Speed Boat With Trailer

This was bought as a project but selling due to divorce. It is a very rare 1970's Buehler Jet Turbocraft that had a Volvo Penta V8 (same as Chevy Big Block). James Bond had one of these in the film Thunderball. I bought it with all engine parts except the block as it had frozen and cracked. Rebuilt engines can be bought on classifieds board.

The Hull is in very good condition. The controls all work smoothly and the center throttle / jet controls are very rare as I cannot find a single picture of this layout anywhere on the internet. The trailer is solid with brand new tires but the bearings and brakes will need attention. It will tow short distances but I would suggest recovery for longer distance. (or if you have your own trailer it can be swapped at a local slipway).

Comes with the Barr Marine bellhousing, the Hamilton Jet prop shaft, cylinder heads, manifolds, distributor, carb, water pump, camshaft, crank, pistons, sump. Parts in various condition and will need overhaul. Any questions just ask! Located Stockton-on-Tees
