Howdy, RR.<br />Scotts were excellent engines. Unfortunately they were made too well for the price, so they went broke and sold out.<br /><br />If I had one I would surely try to keep it in running order.<br /><br />BTW, double posting is considered rude and impatient. I suggest you exercise some patience.<br /><br />Good luck.

I wouldnt reccommend a Scott as an everyday<br />motor. I have seen only 2 Flying Scotts <br /> Both were almost new at the time one was not running right and the other was not running at all.They were an impressive flashy looking motor<br /> with great potential.But I think they were put into production prematurely.<br /> I have factory service letters on a number of<br /> Scott motors that reccommend repairs and<br />modifications without full disclosure to the customer.<br />I think they are becoming more collectable but<br />the market is pretty narrow.<br /> Check www.scottatwater.com lots of great stuff.<br /> Good luck.

Thanks for reply guys<br /> I don't think it will take much to get the scott running, so i will but the timing belt, points and what ever to get her running,Here in canada boat motors dont get much running summers to short maby thats why this one stayed in such good shape,<br /> thanks again river run<br /><br /> Ps,sorry for double posting PC acting up didn't<br />seem to be working right, outboards arn't the only<br />things with gliches!!

JB's got it right. They were fine engines. They made a 3cyl. 75hp. engine, and when it was working right was the nemesis of all the Mercury racers. We called 'um "Scatwaters".<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty
