I recently purchased a 1960 Dorsett Belmont. The pics are posted in the galley. The PO got the retore moved along but took a lot of short cuts that I am trying to get back to original. The hardware parts I am looking for are:
1. end caps on the lower rails that wrap around to the transon
2. Bow handle that mounts on the bow plate.
3. port and starboard aft Rocket style cleats 4 inch
4. Emblems as mine have the wings broken off
The rest, from I can identify, seems to be there but some are well pitted and will require cleaning the paint off where he shot over some of the harware.
I beleive the end caps and bow handle are the same for the Belmont and the 16 ft model for 1960. The 1959 bow head is different and I do not know abou the end caps.
If any one lives in the New London Wisconsin area and would be interested in some extra cash for pulling parts I located a Dorsett with the parts I need and them some but seller just wants the boat gone and will not deal with removing parts.
Thanks
Tim
