  • '59 or '60 Bell Boy

    I'm guessing on the year...either way, I like the trailer! This looks like a 20 footer?

    $650 seems like a deal to me!

    With the fins I'd peg it as a 58 or earlier. The 59, like mine, had straight lines from the helm running aft. One of the reasons I didn't look for one too. The fins are cool, but make fishing a bit difficult...

    Oh, and at $650 I wouldn't call it a deal... I spent $300 for mine with trailer. I still think I spent $299 too much for it considering the shape it was in!

      Marty Loken had one of these and he used it on the Vets event in Tacoma. His had a open bulkhead kind of like some of the Dorsetts did.

      I know they used to try to copy some of the automobile designs in a way but can't quite come up with what they used for that boat.

      I know the Uniflites seen to emulate the Plymouth Valiant I think.
      I always thought it would be cool to find the cars tail lights and put them on. Throttle on, no lights on, throttle off, the lights would come on. Might be too corny in a way...
