Vintage Speed Boats

View attachment 5872633 View attachment 5872633 At least I had the engine all new and looking good. It needed more wood repair than I could do in my shop.

 

There's the picture

 

That is an amazing looking powerplant, any idea what it is? Looks like a 1920s (or older) aircraft engine.

 

Anybody else here but me have a Buehler Turbocraft?

 

Buehler...? Buehler...? Buehler...?

 

Nice boat! Thanks for posting. Interesting jet pump....What make is it? You don't see those carbs everyday.

 

I believe it's a Hamilton pump.
I think the side draft carbs are the same as on the '53-4 inline 6 corvettes.

 

Thanks!

 

FWIW, that should be a Ford Y-Block and the 2x2 intake was used on those Buehlers originally ....a great set up, and Yup that's a Hamilton 3 stage jet pump.

 

Isn't it a 2 x 1 intake manifold, if it uses 'vette carbs?

 

yes
