    Hm. Not a Bell Boy. Not really sure what it is. It is funky though!

      Has the cabin top, front windows and hull of a 1957 Enduracraft "Monterey Luxury Cruiser". Side windows and gunwale are different. Wish there was some identifying badge or plate on her. Could be a pre 57 Endura, might be a prototype, nonetheless, cool looking rig. Neatest Bell Boy Skagit I've ever seen !

          Honestly... what is it??.. If I had time, I would head to Camano and look at it. Not saying I would drag it home... I am at capacity and have too many unfinished boats already.. I would just look! I was just cruising the classifieds and spotted this. I also saw a 15 foot Dorsett in Oregon too that had a lot of stuff for 500

            Wow...Never knew that Skagit did that. That has to be pretty cool.
            I know Tim Jones knows about as much about Skagits, if not more, than Bill Roberts does.

            Tim was telling me after the fire in LaConnor that in 196? that they had some that they were able to complete and so some of them did come out on those years.

            I mean, looking at that, it is a mix between the Bell Boy and Skagit for sure. Means if Skagit did it, It would have to have the glass stringers.

            Rare bird for sure.
