Hi Cajuncook1
Thanks for your reply. Yes, it looks like we have the same motors. Dad couldn’t afford a new outboard so he bought an ex hire motor. Fortunately it had only been in fresh water. It ran well but was looking a bit scruffy, so he gave it a clean up and repainted it, unfortunately not the original colour. We had a lot of fun with it until 1960 when I bought my first motor.The Scott was carefully stored away in the garage with the idea that I would fully restore it one day. As I am not getting any younger I have now decided to get on with it. I have managed to get spray cans of the correct matching paint made up using the original paint on the bottom of the fuel tank as a match,so it should look original when finished. The tank should come up ok when I fill in the dents and get rid of the surface rust.
I am surprised that you haven’t been able to find the aluminium name band that goes round the tank. I would have thought that unlike here in New Zealand there would be plenty of old 1946-47 Scott Atwater motors…… I have only seen two other Scott Atwater motors here in NZ and that was about 40 years back.
