need info on 1961 Arena Craft Day Cruiser w/Buehler jet pump

[allenhoyt]

I am looking for anyone who can tell me anything about a 1961 Arena Craft 21 ft. Day Cruiser, that was setup new with a Buehler turbocraft pump. So far I have not even been able to find anything on a 21 ft. Arena Craft prop drive day cruiser from the early sixties.
Thanks, Allen

I have a vague memory from researching my Buehler that the jet drive was offered as one of the power options for that year on the Arena craft... should be identical otherwise?

Alot of the boat builders bought the Hamilton Marine Jet unit that Indiana Gear Works held the license to in Indianapolis. This was later called the Buehler Corporation. Arena Craft, Century, Chris Craft, Borum, were a few that I am officially aware of that offered this propulsion unit as an offering in the early 60's. I beleive that the Buehler Corporation called this division the Turbopower Division.
