TOPIC: More Info Needed On 1972 Bellcraft Jet Boat.

I am brand new here, and just purchased my first jet boat!

It is a 1972 19'.6" Closed Bow Bellcraft (from what I believe is what the company was called before renaming it Wellcraft).

It has a built 454 with a Berkley 12JC in it. I am trying to find out all I can about the history of these boats, what came onboard motor and jet wise from the factory etc. Does anyone know anything more about the old Bellcrafts or where I can find out more info about them?

Attached is the only picture I have right now...She is in pretty rough shape at the moment, but she will be given a "new life" shortly!


Thanks!
