Hi all!
Been lurking for a few weeks and thought I had better join up, say Hi and introduce myself,
just bought my very first ever boat, (have been heavily into cars and trailers for a while) and of course it needs a full restoration.

It is a 1959 Bell Boy Banshee and is in pretty sad condition, I will post some pictures of now and as I go for the resto, heaps and heaps of great info and help on this forum - thank you all so much!

I am located in Melbourne, Victoria in Australia and have found a couple of other Banshee owners down here, but not very many.
any advice on finding parts for these boats woudl be greatly appreciated

Matt

P.S. Thanks Ken for sorting out my log in problems and steering me on the right track
