Dateline Boats were manufactured at Dockray Hall , Kendal in the 70's. The range at the time consisted of the Suva, Samoa, Bikini, Bounty, Bounty GL, Fijian and Hawiian. They ranged from circa 13 feet to Circa 21ft inboards and outbords. Yhe most popular were the Bikini and Bounty with their classic wrap around windshield and very streamlined bodywork. Still quite stunning 30 years later.
