I particularly like the unique one-year only 1953 Gold Pennant 7.5 and 10hp models and have owned several. One of the big design oversights with these is the center strip on the cover, it is a PITA to remove, something you must do to work on anything involving the recoil, magneto or carb. This same design was used, after Scott dropped it, on many of the private brand motors through 1958.
