TOPIC: 1961 Royal Scott 15' package - information wanted

I am seeking information on the original colors of exterior and interior of this runabout. Extensive searching on the web hasn't provided any images of this boat. I believe it is a boat, trailer and motor package sold by McCulloch from 1961-63. I've searched IMP, Red Fish, Wizard, and Winner, (all of whom were reported to have built or sold McCulloch boats), to no avail. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

While buffing the transom today, I found out that my 47.3 hp Royal Scott o/b is equipped with 'Bail-O-Matic', considering the 'zinc' looking strainer puck that is lying in the bilge. As well, on looking at my 1961 service manual, I can find nothing about a 47.3 hp Royal Scott 'Custom'. But mine is badged 'Custom' on the powerhead cover, nonetheless. What a conundrum!? Emailed the 'scottatwaterguy' and he said they were only produced 1962&1963, as a package. Dunno' exactly what I have, but based on the total lack of evidence to the contrary, am beginning to think that it's one of a kind. Pics are on my profile page and any help would be very welcome.

This is not the same boat package that was sold in the U.S. as a Royal Scott. They had a package that came in 15 foot which looked very similar to the 17 foot except for boat size and engine power.
The engine was a 43.7 hp in the U.S. and the Custom was the same engine with the special paint and included a tachometer. Perhaps Canada used a different boat vendor. I will try to dig up some additional U.S. package information if you are interested.

Wow, thanks! Am I ever interested! I would be very grateful for anything you might be able to find. The rest of the pictures are on my profile, if you'd be kind enough to have a look. I haven't yet become familiar enough with the site to be able to establish a gallery. Will look forward to anything you might locate.

Regards,

Rick
