  • 1958 Bell Boy, identification help

    We are trying to figure out the model of our bellboy, 16 ft. Doesn't look like any of the models we've been able to look up on the net. Any help would really be appreciated! Probably not the easiest pictures to identify from, but we've already started restoration, so this was the best I could do!

    It kinda looks like a bell boy hull but I am really guessing.

      Bell Boy

      The hull is definitely a 1954-'58 series Bell Boy 16, and the deck mold looks like a typical BB16 convertible, but the windshield does not look like an original Bell Boy fixture. Is there any evidence of old holes that have been filled on the foredeck and adjoining side decks, where a molded-fiberglass windshield frame might have originally be bolted in place?
