That has to be one of very few matching Royal Scott boats and motors original in that condition! As a kid in the 60's I always thought the off brands like McCulloch and West Bend were the coolest....this is fantastic...do your magic Rich!
I respect a man who has his priorities straight. "First, we're going fishin', then we'll work on the boat." That is a very sweet looking boat, looking forward to the reveal already.
McCulloch bought their marine division from the former Scott-Attwater company. So that's where the Scott naming came from. The motors are good enough that McCulloch did not do much to the design for years. This is a great find. Good on you for saving it 😊
Pretty cool to see. My dad worked at Scott-Atwater in the manufacturing plant in Minneapolis back in the 50's and early 60's. He was there when McCullough bought them out until they decided to shut the plant down and move the operation to their plant in California. After that he went to work for a company (machine shop) that was started by 3 former Scott-Atwater employees in Pine City, MN. They kind of turned the name around and called it Atscott. It's still in business today.
love the info.
Deboss pivot to boats and I’m here for it
This thing is gorgeous. The engine cover in particular looks very vintage in an awesome 50’s style, but the whole aesthetic is just something you don’t see anymore. What a beaut!
It's tragic how styling like the 50's and 60's disappeared. The average car, or boat, etc just doesn't have the visual impact any more.
Yeah, people like the boring minimalist style now
It’s all about aerodynamics and drag coefficients. Many manufacturers have fleet mpg targets to hit. That’s why cars are starting to look the same. I’d love to see EVs offered in classic car bodies from the manufacturer - that way they might not sound great but they’d look AWESOME
EPA GOONES dictate everything with an engine that us comeners enjoy, so they are doomed from the beginning!
I'm with you, Matthew. Thank the governments for the decay of our civilization. It's really too bad that people are more like Lemmings than Lions, they just went along with whatever, and some have woken up to what we have now.
@@rupertkingsley EPA is the main one. Requirements for mpgs, emissions and nhtsa safety standards has made everything round and ugly
Buckin Billy Ray would love that motor! He has a McCulloch chainsaw collection that is quite impressive, What a marvellous Canadian find!
She's a real beauty in the style of the classic motor launch. Good thing you're saving this one🚤
Had a boat a lot like that 40 years ago. It's concerning that water came out of the drain plug, because it was probably in there a very long time. They have double fiberglass hulls, but wooden stringers and transom core. If a lot of that wood is rotten it will be a chore cutting the interior hull out and replacing rotted wood parts. Thanks for the videos! 👍👍
No way! Thought this weekend couldn’t get better and then Deboss drops a video!!!
Two videos. Dang!
She deserves to be saved!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing the adventure, what an incredible spot to rescue a boat.
Perfect timing for a vintage boat restoration!
Just picked up a 1948 Evinrude Speedifour outboard. Sat for decades in a shed here in Winnipeg, just got it unseized today.
Now the hunt begins for a 40s-50s vintage boat. Aluminum, dual cockpit is the dream.
Too many rocks in the Shield for fibreglass, at least on our lake.
I don't know anything about that cabin or boat but, around 1960 when I was 10 or so our family spent a great week in a rented cabin at Parry Sound, what a great time that was. It still looks like I remember it. After 50 years away from Ontario I need to get back and visit.
Thanks for some good memories.
I am stoked to see y’all fix this up. I love seeing and bringing old stuff back to its former glory.
Hi Rich. What a fantastic boat and motor! So glad it's being put back in shape, used, and loved. Can hardly wait for part 2 and the relaunch. Beautiful cottage country. I could just watch videos of the water.
Cool boat. Love the boathouse too. I wonder where those doors came from. I had a friend as a kid who's dad worked for the local university. They tore down an old dormitory and he got all the doors. So he fenced in his backyard with them. It was great because he made like seven or eight of them work. He had the best backyard ever.
That's hilarious I had bought an old house built in 1864 and in the basement there was a huge workshop with a working bathroom and everything was built out of old wooden doors it was great...
I'm pretty sure that 4:52 shot is what heaven is gonna look like for me.
Berwyn is likely the last name of the folks who lived there and that sign is for mail delivery from the water, some old lake cottages in the US at least have their old signs still
Having been to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota many times over the years, I concur that the view you spoke of is truly Heavenly! I can only dream of having a property like this one! I would never want to come home.
Your right about Canada and it's beauty. I spent a couple weeks every summer for 20 years staying in a cabin up north of Kingston. Was just a place with 5 or 6 cabins ,no power, pumped our water with a hand pump at the well which was right at the spillway between 2 lakes that i believe was controlled by the power company. King lake and crotch lake. Best fishing i ever have experienced and the best memories of my life with my dad. It was a place that he had been going with his parents since the 1950's.
Great video! The type of content we have all came to know and love from
DEBOSS GARAGE. As far as the boat. that thing is cool as hell. I can't wait ti see it restored.
What a cool boat , I love the robins egg blue boats but nice to see one a different color for a change . Great job guys getting her out and nice to see the fellowship and fun that goes along with rescues like this . Thanks for sharing and will be following this resto for sure . I really enjoyed the video ! thx
Loving this, and the desire to bring a classic back to life.
Oh those beautiful lines on that boat!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! Those were the days, the cars,trucks and even the planes had beautiful curves in all their designs. ❤❤❤
My god that thing is beautiful! I can imagine the Canadian pride you all must feel giving this boat the respect it deserves! 🫡 🇨🇦
Always a good sense of accomplishment washing an old boat.. Nice project
That boat is awesome! I love the lines, curves and styling.
I'll roll with any of Rich adventures. Boats or combines 😂🎉🎉
Before the boat is completed a nice new boat house and ramp to the lake is a must!👍
Loving all the boat content recently!
That is a great find. I will be following your restoration.
Very cool boat, looks like it will clean up as good as new.
Man what a beautiful boat. It sitting inside saved it. It reminds me of my stepdads when him & my mom got together.
That´s a really cool boat and even cooler with the matching engine! The Scott outboards looks fantastic. They were sold here in Sweden too but there are not many of them left still running.
Fantastic, can't wait to see the series
That is a very cool old boat and that entire Cottage and boat house are stuck in a time warp, very cool.
Reminds me so much of my first boat, bought it with money I had made from mowing lawns and doing dishes, I was 14 yrs old, it was a 1950's era Bell boy, fiberglass, and it was made to look like the old wooden boats of the time, big it was dark red, with a big dark blue bench seat in the front, and there was a split between it and the back seat which was another big bench seat, with another split and then the 35 HP Johnson motor, little low cut windshield with a rearview mirror, and it sat kinda low in the water, making it look sleek, and I believe it had boat tail corners like you saw on the old cars of the day, like wings or something. I have pictures of me sitting in it the day I bought it, it just had cool lines. Love this rescue!!
Beautiful find. Totally worth restoring. I’ve had few 50s and 60s runabouts and mark twains. Each one I brought back to life and sold to someone to enjoy it. They don’t make them like that anymore and it’s sad.
I love how the engine has fins on it, just like a 1960 Chevrolet Impala!
Ah! Those were the days!
Would love to see the restoration progress and its maiden voyage once restored. Beautiful boat! Incredible opportunity.
Cool old boat cannot wait to see the restoration videos.
Absolutely just Love the Ole Style Music 🎶 in the video it always sounds so good to listen to 👍 keep up the awesome videos coming.
Piece of art. Fantastic find
When I was a young kid my dad had an Elgin boat with a Scott McCullough motor just like that on it, your video brings back a lot of memories of that boat.
I'd love to see it brought back to life, nice find !
A friend has a cottage on Channel Island. I have been there twice, and got on his boat in Parry Sound. 'Berwyn' doesn't ring any bells for him, but more details might be helpful. Keep up the great work!
Awe man, this takes me right back to the trip my son and I got to take this summer to Bryson Lac (near Ft Coulonge), Quebec this past summer! I'm sure they've transitioned from Walleye fishing to Moose hunting, but I'd jump in th etruck again and head back now if I could! You guys have some GORGEOUS territory up there. Cheers from NE Ohio and good luck with the boat!
hay during the pressure wash I thought I was watching Puddin Fab Shop. Hahaha. Love your channel. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Quality. What an adventure getting home too.
that engine cover is so cool. thats an awesome find
My uncle and a buddy of his built an 18' plywood cabin cruiser (we later called it "the Ark") in the early 60s. They did a super nice job on it. He bought a pair of 40 hp McCulloch motors that had been used in some kind of factory demo at a boat show. Early on one of the motors chucked a rod through the case and McCulloch stepped up and gave him another motor. Unheard of customer support.
Learned to ski behind that boat in Oregon, as did my girlfriend (now wife) many years ago.
Good times.
Good times indeed
Can't wait to see this run!!
Rich this is so dang cool. New stuff is just new, these old rides, be they cars, boats, or bicycles are part of another time, and when we restore these machines, and bring them back to life, we honor the people that lived in that other time...and maybe, just maybe they transport back for a peek at life back then...just like that little time machine will do for you and your friends when it returns to the lake in all it's glory.
A Very sweet boat, that would look awsome running up and down the water again!!.
this channel is now the Deboss Boat House
Awesome video, a friend of mine found a true St Lawrence River wooden boat that he restored. Called it Bootlegger.
Getting old boats,cars, trucks back to operating condition is good. They show younger generations old era technology paved the way to current
That's a beautiful boat for the lakes. Deserves to be restored correctly good job
A new video from my favorite channel, DaBoat Garage
a lovely old girl. Glad you found her.
What a beautiful old boat! Kudos to you for seeing the value in it and bringing it back to life. It's nice to see folks that love the old stuff, which has way more character than the crap made today.
That’s really cool boat; glad to see its being given a second chance on life, lots of cool stuff hidden away on the lakes, my dad grew up spending time up in Canada on Bobs Lake and I also got a chance to spend time up there till my grandparents sold there cottage. There was a camp that had several cottages on it that was across from us that still has some old wooden speedboats in them
The ride up the lake and the scenery reminds me of growing up in NW Ontario near Atikokan 🥰
Good on you.I commend you guys . I've got a 57 blue star Islander. Sadly I don't have the original motor but still looking For
One. We need to keep more these old girls on the water. I wish you guys the best of luck and I will be watching to see how everything comes out.
Even the wind screen is got an awesome curve to it ! Love the boy it’s cool gunna be sweet.
Someone's going to be watching this video and realize it's their Grandpa's boat, that was stolen in 1962 and they only had doors to hide it under. 😂
Definitely a cool little boat!
❤ Love the video. Awesome Contant.
Excellent boat!
Anxiously waiting for the restoration of this boat and motor. Rich will have this looking as good as the day it left the showroom floor.
GREAT project!!!! Loveit!!!
GOD OLE MIGHTY does that Cottage need lots of work hopefully He got an awesome deal on it hopefully.
We had friends with a flying Scott outboard on a home made plywood boat and enjoyed sking in the mid 60s. It had to work hard towing a skier. Good fun.
My dad had that same boat when i was growing up…wow does this bring back fond memories!
Double WOWOW this boat takes me back to my childhood ! I don't know this particular one but, I have had rides in one....I'm 70.
Hell yeah! That's awesome!
Dont forget to put the drain plug in ! Lol 😂
A good cut and polish and that gel coat will shine!!
McCulloch also produced a 4-cycle 25 or 30 hp outboard based on a Crosley (sic) 4 cylinder engine block. Not only did it weigh a ton, it was a very undependable engine. How do I know? Sadly, I owned one.
What a beauty!
Great old boat, well worth the effort.
13:16 Yay ! Get Vince to weld that up ! :D
More Vince !
More friends !
MORE OF EVERYONE ! 🤩
Very cool old boat
The actual garage is probably worth something being made out of antique doors ! Plus !
I'm here in England and you have all those wonderful wonderful lakes and forests !
Trying not to be but yeah ! Seriously jealous ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
What an awesome find. And an awesome friend. Not only awesome enough to have junk that cool, but also awesome enough to share his cool junk with you and make it your cool junk. I wish my friends has cool junk. 😂😂
So cool!
Hey!! My Son and I just did this to a similar boat but at our place in Honey Harbour (Muskoka) it was left in the sun so all the gel coat was super faded. We ended up lightly sanding the whole thing then clear coating with an automotive paint in a spray bomb called “glamour clear”. It turned out amazing!! I can’t share pics here or I would. Good luck!!
If there's no saving that motor they can be turned into excellent rural mailboxes!
Oh man that's a cool idea I'm def gonna borrow
We had a Scott fiberglass canoe with a transom for a 3 hp motor growing up. Man that thing was heavy, portaging was not an option. Dad ended up giving it to a guy who lived across the street, I'm surprised they were able to get it home. :D
The castors on the "trailer" look like they were made in the early 1900's...cool.
Great project this little boat is.
That's a very cool boat =)
Nice boat!
AWESOME
Nice find I wish I could find treasures like that
There a guy on Kijiji that restore old outboard motor
Nice 👍 had a early 60s boat very similar … I believe it was made by Leland ? Like a Peterborough runabout
I've got a 64 .I used 20 yamaha tiller motor on mine.still in good shape and easy to keep too.
Great find. I have a 64 Dodge 880 4 door that would look great towing that thing! I'll ask around about a trailer, I'm in Niagara, would love to be able to help you guys out.
Just for giggles, I'll offer up some info for prosperity.
CE Scott and HB Atwater were partners in a tool maker business in Minnesota during the 30s and 40s. Outboards were one third-party product during this era. They were branded as Champion and sold also with the Firestone private label.
Post WW2, the third party vendor for Champion bowed out and the Scott-Atwater marine division was formed in 1946 to continue the Champion line on their own. The Scott-Atwater Champions had a good run being also sold under several other private labels including Corsair, Hiawatha, and Voyager. They also picked up the Elgin contract from Sears in 1959. (previously held by West Bend)
McCulloch officially bought out SA in 1956 but the Scott-Atwater brand continued for a couple of years, being shortened to just Scott and then finally just McCulloch by 1964.
In 1965, McCulloch dumped the marine business but continued to produce for the Sears contract until 1969.
Sears dropped the Elgin named in 1964 and continued as just Sears branding, so the 59-64 Elgins were actually made by Scott-Atwater/Scott (though owned by Mac) and the 65-69 Sears were all Mac even though Mac didn't have a product using their own name at that time.
Many of the people and designs from Scott-Atwater/Scott/McCulloch were picked up by Chrysler who had also enveloped West Bend by then.
It's a wicked web of buyouts and a bit of a shame, too. The Scott-Atwater products made a good run at OMC and Merc for a while. Many outboard innovations came from these guys.
...and just for a few more giggles, the Scott-branded boats were actually made by Red Fish, headquartered out of Texas.
McCulloch offered them as a complete package: Boat, motor, and trailer.
I love places like this, with lots of hidden gems and all those chemicals that were banned for some reason or another.
That's a cool old boat. We used to go from Toledo every summer to a camp up around the Elk Lake/Gowganda area called Poplar Point before covid closed the borders a few years ago and we lost our reservation spot. It looks a lot like that. I pulled an old Montgomery Ward Sea King with a 1969 40 horse Johnson up one year and we made it a few hundred yards into Long Point Lake and it snowballed the foward clutch coil in the lower end and we had to paddle it back to the dock.
What a beauty she is, love those shapes lines & style, love that outboard cover too. We had a Co. here in Australia that made a similar shape boat in the 50's-70's...what happened to style over the years.
