Dateline Bounty 17ft Sports Speed Boat With 100hp Mercury Outboard

Dateline Bounty Speedboat, Approx. 17ft, with black and white finish.Complete with a 100 HP Mercury outboard and controls as well as a trailer. These were great boats, well made and robust, has a shallower profile when compared to the fletchers of her day but we still found excellent across all waters, stable an excellent ski boat as well fishing, as the interior was more spacious than the competitions. We had every intention of using her again but with young families there just wasnt the time.....she was winterised before being laid up and has been there ever since. Unfortunately now the house in Worthing, West Susssex where she is stored is going which means we have no space where we live to store her.

The hull shows a bit of sun bleaching in patches along the black trim but nothing a good polish wont remove, the hull is in good shape with no holes and the side trim also looks good. Includes and ski ladder at the back. Due lack of use the timber seating and side panels began to rot so we removed the interior completely. We have the front and rear seats, ive made new templates for the side panels and have a new carpet, however all the interior could do with restoring and replacing the foam and coverings as the vinyl is brittle in places and split in others. The wooden trim for the bow is available as well.

The trailer needs a new centre brake cable set and probably a service for the brakes, theye were done but havent moved for a while. She is an ideal project and once restored will still look good even against todays models. If i had the time I would do it. Viewing can be arranged, please note however you are bidding to buy, I would like a deposit paid within 24hrs and the balance on collection within a week.
