    Howdy All,
    My name is Kevin and i am the proud owner of a 1957 16' Bell Boy Runabout. This boat was bought brand new in '57 by my great grandpa and has been in our family since that time. I recently stole it from my dad and brought it to it's new home in Spokane. The boat is great shape, just needs some elbow grease to get her all cleaned up. I have been searching high and low for replacement emblems, original paperwork, and misc parts and accessories...if you know where to look I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks all, have a great day.

    Welcome!

    A family boat is a great thing to inherit, even if you stole it from your dad.

    Your link seems to be broken though.

        bellboy

        Howdy I am new as well. selling my MC this summer and looking for a bellboy to-hence the name. My Grandpa and uncle had them on Preist Lake where we had a cabin just about a mile up from Coolin Idaho. My uncle was a hard top runabout (seen a few on cl needing work) yellow and black and grandpa's was just like Helmar's only green. Keep us posted on your boat, will love to watch your progress.

          Welcome
          Pretty much all of them your going to find will be needing work, just how much would be the big question.
          The red and white one, needs it all

          Again, welcome to the group. I almost missed your post here...
