Here is a piccy of a 1971 Bell Boy, looks different to yours but maybe yours is another model.

Does it say what year yours is?

Dazza yeah it looks close mine appears more rounded on the gunals and lower sided , I have no idea of the date of manfacture but i suspect mid 70's. Do you know if Bell Boy is the brand or the Model?

Many Thanks

If you look at the link Bev put up I think it nearly discounts Bell Boy
The entry v is much like mine, long nose if you get what I am saying. All the BB's on the link have a more vertical entry. Mine rigs nearly be posatively id'ed as a hartley which in turn make it Pride/Carribean which I understand were basicly the first Glass boats taken off a hartley Mould.
