McCulloch bought their marine division from the former Scott-Attwater company. So that's where the Scott naming came from. The motors are good enough that McCulloch did not do much to the design for years. This is a great find. Good on you for saving it 😊
@RoadGlider50511 ай бұрын
Pretty cool to see. My dad worked at Scott-Atwater in the manufacturing plant in Minneapolis back in the 50's and early 60's. He was there when McCullough bought them out until they decided to shut the plant down and move the operation to their plant in California. After that he went to work for a company (machine shop) that was started by 3 former Scott-Atwater employees in Pine City, MN. They kind of turned the name around and called it Atscott. It's still in business today.

Had a boat a lot like that 40 years ago. It's concerning that water came out of the drain plug, because it was probably in there a very long time. They have double fiberglass hulls, but wooden stringers and transom core. If a lot of that wood is rotten it will be a chore cutting the interior hull out and replacing rotted wood parts. Thanks for the videos! 👍👍

Perfect timing for a vintage boat restoration! Just picked up a 1948 Evinrude Speedifour outboard. Sat for decades in a shed here in Winnipeg, just got it unseized today. Now the hunt begins for a 40s-50s vintage boat. Aluminum, dual cockpit is the dream. Too many rocks in the Shield for fibreglass, at least on our lake.

I don't know anything about that cabin or boat but, around 1960 when I was 10 or so our family spent a great week in a rented cabin at Parry Sound, what a great time that was.

Your right about Canada and it's beauty. I spent a couple weeks every summer for 20 years staying in a cabin up north of Kingston. Was just a place with 5 or 6 cabins ,no power, pumped our water with a hand pump at the well which was right at the spillway between 2 lakes that i believe was controlled by the power company. King lake and crotch lake. Best fishing i ever have experienced and the best memories of my life with my dad. It was a place that he had been going with his parents since the 1950's.

Reminds me so much of my first boat, bought it with money I had made from mowing lawns and doing dishes, I was 14 yrs old, it was a 1950's era Bell boy, fiberglass, and it was made to look like the old wooden boats of the time, big it was dark red, with a big dark blue bench seat in the front, and there was a split between it and the back seat which was another big bench seat, with another split and then the 35 HP Johnson motor, little low cut windshield with a rearview mirror, and it sat kinda low in the water, making it look sleek, and I believe it had boat tail corners like you saw on the old cars of the day, like wings or something. I have pictures of me sitting in it the day I bought it, it just had cool lines. Love this rescue!!

My uncle and a buddy of his built an 18' plywood cabin cruiser (we later called it "the Ark") in the early 60s. They did a super nice job on it. He bought a pair of 40 hp McCulloch motors that had been used in some kind of factory demo at a boat show. Early on one of the motors chucked a rod through the case and McCulloch stepped up and gave him another motor. Unheard of customer support. Learned to ski behind that boat in Oregon, as did my girlfriend (now wife) many years ago. Good times.

@MarkDean131311 ай бұрын
Just for giggles, I'll offer up some info for prosperity. CE Scott and HB Atwater were partners in a tool maker business in Minnesota during the 30s and 40s. Outboards were one third-party product during this era. They were branded as Champion and sold also with the Firestone private label. Post WW2, the third party vendor for Champion bowed out and the Scott-Atwater marine division was formed in 1946 to continue the Champion line on their own. The Scott-Atwater Champions had a good run being also sold under several other private labels including Corsair, Hiawatha, and Voyager. They also picked up the Elgin contract from Sears in 1959. (previously held by West Bend) McCulloch officially bought out SA in 1956 but the Scott-Atwater brand continued for a couple of years, being shortened to just Scott and then finally just McCulloch by 1964. In 1965, McCulloch dumped the marine business but continued to produce for the Sears contract until 1969. Sears dropped the Elgin named in 1964 and continued as just Sears branding, so the 59-64 Elgins were actually made by Scott-Atwater/Scott (though owned by Mac) and the 65-69 Sears were all Mac even though Mac didn't have a product using their own name at that time. Many of the people and designs from Scott-Atwater/Scott/McCulloch were picked up by Chrysler who had also enveloped West Bend by then. It's a wicked web of buyouts and a bit of a shame, too. The Scott-Atwater products made a good run at OMC and Merc for a while. Many outboard innovations came from these guys.
@MarkDean131311 ай бұрын
...and just for a few more giggles, the Scott-branded boats were actually made by Red Fish, headquartered out of Texas. McCulloch offered them as a complete package: Boat, motor, and trailer.

Sunlight dish soap has natural bleach in it as why it works great on white gel coats

Google McCulloch 4318, that's the 4 cylinder and the most common one. About 90hp from about 1.6L, and dirt simple. People have put them on kit planes and other homebuilt stuff and they're pretty reliable still. I didn't know they made outboards too, learn something new every day! Awesome 😎
