  • 1956 Bellboy 16ft Hardtop

    For Sale - 1956 Bellboy hardtop. Includes 50hp Homelite outboard and galvanized EZ Loader trailer. The boat has new stringers. transom, and floor. All work was completed using system 3 epoxy. Photos of restoration can be found here:

    The homelite has a new crank bottom seal and powerhead mounting gaskets as well as rebuilt carbs. It runs well and starts quickly - it seems like it was well taken care of. I have clear WA titles for the boat and trailer in my name. I did forget to send in the registration last year. Items needing completion are the steering - it has cable steering and 2 of the pulleys in the rear need upgrading or it can be converted to push/pull. The paint is also a little sketchy - it looks ok but is not perfect. I was looking to get $2500 for the package but I am willing to entertain offers. I have a new baby and just haven't used the boat much (it seems I like fixing them more than using them!). Boat is in Vancouver, WA

    John, nice job on the restore. It was definitely rough when you got it. Really like that removable hardtop. Thanks for the link to your photos. Good luck with the sale, should go pretty fast.

      Thanks for the kind words Steve - she was rough but I really liked the lines and the removable top. I really just want someone to enjor her. I forgot to mention I will accept a partial trade for a 14'-16' bunk trailer with title.

      Thanks,

      -John

        That is looking nice for sure.

        Well, for what your asking for the complete package, I think its more than fair.
        Turn the key and go.
        Plus, NO SMOKE (well maybe the first time you start the Bearcat once she has been stored with her nose down like in the picture)

        Nice Job :GoodJob:

          Price Reduced

          Price reduced to $1800. This is a nice boat that just needs some finishing touches. I'd really like to see it go to somebody that will use and appreciate it. Let me know if you are interested.

          Thanks,

          -John
