Maybe this will help! Go to Google and put in Flying Scot Motors!<br /><br /> Flying Scot

best to use a single post for a single topic.<br /><br />My guess is you have a '60s Scott, but it's a guess with no real basis (other than horsepower and the designation "Flying Scott" which I don't think was used in reference to to old Scott Atwaters.) <br /><br />It's easier to find parts for Evinrudes and Johnsons if you are looking to restore a period motor to go with the PennYan, but if the Scott is in good shape it can also be a nice motor for the boat.

Ask the Scott guy at; web.a-znet.com/scottguy<br /> Scott/mcCulloch went out of business in the mid 60s.<br /> A Flying Scott is a flashy looking motor that<br />is capable of good performance.Depending on the year it could be 60 or 75 hp. Most likely<br />parts are scarcer than hens teeth.<br /> I sure wouldnt reccomend it to any one without <br />good mechanical and outboard knowledge.
