Dad's new "old" boat

Not a Glastron.....but still a boat, old, and cool!
Dad picked up this beauty today.
1962 Scott Flying Scott Deluxe 17'.
Scott's were made by McCulloch from 1961 to 1963. This was their top of the line boat. All original with exception to the interior vinyl and motor. Trailer is original too and is also a McCulloch brand trailer. Some really nice and neat features on this boat. Seems to be ahead of it's time for 1962.
Motor is a 1971 Mercury 80hp.

VERY VERY COOL !
Cool boat run in your family Jason ...
When I was young (mid 60's) our neighbors had a 25 foot Scott cabin crusier with a 75 HP Scott on the back.
Have never been able to find a picture of it in family photos or searchs on the internet, it was white and light blue.
I think Scott's were made in Mpls.
Will he be out for a run with us this summer ?

That Merc has to go. I could find you a nice Scott 40 or 75.

Amazing to find a 50 year boat in that pristine condition. The features are unique and very interesting. I followed the Scott line growing up and would spend hours looking at the motors in the brochures. Congratulations to your dad on this rare find.

That is one sweet boat. Gotta love the way that split bow hatch opens and the boarding ladder attaches to the front. Never seen anything like that. They were ahead of their time and had cool usable features.

The 6th picture is from the Whitefish show last year at Moonlight Bay. Nice looking boat.

Red Fish boat company made the Scott boats. Interesting history at this link.

That is interesting. This 1958 Red Fish sure does look familiar!!!
Bob Hammonds response to this boat:
“you know, that is one of the things that still burns me about this business. The Walters brothers took one of our boats, puttied it up and pulled a mold off of it. Added a little bit here and took a little off there and went into production just like that! Planned obsolescence had very little to do with the changing of our styling from year to year....we were trying to keep ahead of the copies that were coming from everywhere!â€

So if I understand this all, McCuloch owned Scott and hired Red Fish to build the Flying Scott?
Crazy.

McCulloch bought Scott outboards in 1957 according to this history of Scott Atwater outboard motors.

Too bad the Scott line of boats only lasted a few years. Makes them even more of a collector item !!!

I've never seen a Capri. It is cool with all the hood scoops. I've seen a few flying Scott's, but none with that black thing on the back.

My dad growing up in the 60's has a lot of experience with the old Scott motors on the house boats on trips in Voyageurs National Park............... He is not upset at all to see the original motor to be gone! An OMC V4 would have been better. At least the cover would not have been cut to get it to fit under hood. oh well, the old merc seems to run real nice.

I'm with your dad. I wouldn't have a Scott, except on that boat. I won't have another Merc either. This is the poorest designed POS i've ever seen.

Jerry, if Carl Kiekhaefer were alive and heard you say that, you would be in big trouble. Carl Kiekhaefer would hang Johnson motors over bonfires and watch them melt. Dealers were expected to chant with Kiekhaefer slogans like "kill the enemy."
