Bell Boy ?

Here are some pics. Hopefully someone can help me id this thing. Im almost positive on the 60 -62 year but which one? Are there any marks I can look for to idenify hull type/model. And what about finding a top? Anyway thanks for the help.

The top is just a matter of going to your local canvas shop and having one made.

I know that part. Need to find out if it was a hard top or soft top. And I want to get the rear bracket system for this. Want to be as original as possible. Will be hard but worth it.

Have you crawled up into the bow and looked for numbers stamped on the underside of the deck near the front? The hull seems a little different than the 60 - 62 404 hulls I've had. How long is it? Barry

Thanks. Its a 17', has a bow acess to fuel tank up top. Also the BB70 Volvo-Penta. I am of course not sure on year. Just going by Bell Boy brochures(Havent found it in the ads I've seen thats why I'm dating those years) and Volvo-Penta BB70's manufacture dates

Your boat doesn't have the typical Bellboy bow of the 60's. It is similar to a Glasspar but it is not. Wauconda made something similar... Marty???

Damn! And thats what is the coolest about this group!

Appreciate the info. Is there somewhere where I can see the brochures for that model. And it was with the BB70 correct. Thanks Alot for your input... Benjamin Hrbek

Sweet ride Benjamin, get her back on the water first, spend money and time after enjoying some instant gratification.

I don't listen to my own advice, thus I was a landlubber all last season and my squeeze didn't get to witness the positives of this addiction!

Don't be that guy...


P.S.: how the heck did BillR know the answer to this mystery?
