  • '58 Bell Boy



    A little spendy at $1500, but it already has a Homelite on it

    I like how they refer to the helm as a "flying bridge"... Looks like it could be a decent candidate for restoration as it appears to have all the trimmings.

      I think this was the last Bell Boy model that Marty had. (Yeah, flying bridge )
      I would really be surprised about the wood in that boat as well as the motor with the way it is looking.
      I don't even see a Old tag on the hull to know the last time it was licensed.
      Looks like its been out of the water for awhile too. Not very clear on the windshield. Not looking like much visibility ?
      If the bearcat was not drained properly, might even be a broken block? On Bainbridge, then was it or was it not ran in the Salt water.

      That is a desirable model but man, I would look that over Very good.
      With the information supplied, might offer him $250.
      If the motor is a runner, with out a trailer, might offer $450. Sorry about reality.
      I think the cabin bulkhead is also open on this model ??

        Open bulkhead, yes. Dang, they will NEVER get $1500 for that thing! I think you are on track with $250. Marty's is sure cute. Like a miniature 404.
