ever herd of a ?

[tonga]

anyone ever herd of a Buler Turbo-Jet ?
My buddy got one a 16 footer, if I had to guess I would say it is at least 30 years old!
The boat has a fresh rebuilt 318 Dodge with a single litle carb.
other than the fresh engine,the boat needs floor,carpet,seats,starter,shift cable,well you get the idea!
The guy he got it from told him it runs in the mid 60's HA!!!!
MY buddy dose not no anything about boats,so I guess this guy saw him comming.
Anyway now my buddy is trying to talk me into giving him $500 for it,and I want nothing to do with it!!
so anybody ever herd of one?
or is anyone looking for a classic project??

Tonga, It appears your friends boat may be closer to 40 years old and a native of New Zealand.
