THUNDERBIRD TAHOE boat model
Thunderbird is a 55-foot speedboat designed by John
Hacker and built by Huckins in 1939 for Captain
George Whittell--a millionaire who owned most of
Tahoe's east shore at that time.
In 1962, resort-casino owner Bill Harrah purchased
Thunderbird and repowered
her with twin 1000 hp Allison aircraft conversion
engines, allowing a top speed of 70 mph.
In 1979, Buzz and Joan Gibb purchased Thunderbird
and had her completely refurbished. She is now used
for the Gibb's guests and rides on the boat are
donated to worthy causes.
The Thunderbird boat is currently owned by Foundation 36, a
non-profit Nevada trust.
