TOPIC: Addition to the fleet

I finally stopped by my new neighbors house the other day to ask about his old Bell Boy sitting in the tree line. He was surprised that I even know what it was and asked me if I wanted to take a look at it, of course I said "Hell YA" So as we were checking it out, he said $250 and its yours, I was shocked as my intentions were not necessarily to try and buy it from him, but rather maybe just meet a fellow boat enthusiasts. I asked him if he had a title for it, he replied yes so i now own a super cool but total trashed 1958 I think Bell Boy express 16 foot. All the peices seem to be there minus the upholstery, which is mostly made of moss and rotten leaves at the moment. If anyone has any pictures of the interior of one of these things it would be much apappreciated.

Byron, great deal , missed you on wed. frog

That's going to be a sweet craft when redone. I wish this kinda stuff would happen to me! Congrats!

Way to go Byron, nice find. Post more pics when you get her cleaned up and looked over.

A while back someone posted some pics of one restored at a show. I don't know if the interior was original but I'll bet you will get some help here.

Nice score!

Funny story the previous owner said he bought the boat back in the 70's and used it until the mid 80's, which was when his son sunk the boat. It was recovered and never used again.

Great find , I sure like the lines of those boats .
