Champion ⇒ Scott-Atwater ⇒ Scott ⇒ Scott-McCulloch ⇒ McCulloch

C.E. Scott and H.B. Atwater owned a small tool making and punch press operation. They had started the business in 1932. In 1935 a gentlemen named DuMonte approached them to build a small outboard for him to sell. The motor was put on display at a New York exhibit. Report has it that several hundred of the outboards were ordered. Before the motors were turned over to DuMonte they installed some decals of the name CHAMPION. They were still doing their tool and punch press operation as well as building outboards.

In 1939, DuMonte landed a contract with Firestone to sell the CHAMPIONS in their tire stores. This forced both C.E Scott and H.B. Atwater to start building outboards full time. In 1941 Scott and Atwater with their CHAMPION outboards were the second largest outboard manufacturer in America. At that time only Evinrude was larger. This relationship with DuMonte and the CHAMPION outboards went from 1935 until 1942. World War 2 had forced most machine shops to doing military work and Scott and Atwater were no exception. After the war DuMonte decided to build his own motors. Firestone still wanting outboards stayed with Scott and Atwater to supply their motors.

In 1946, FIRESTONE and SCOTT-ATWATER outboards hit the market. They offered a 3.6 hp in 1946, adding the 7½ in 1947. By 1949 their line had grown to a 3.6, 4, 5, and 7½ hp. The 4½ outboards were available with full shift F-N-R. Making them the first outboard company with a line of shift motors. 1950 offered in addition a 16 hp shift motor. In 1951 they added a 10 hp. This brought their line in 1951 to a 3.6, 4, 5, 7½, 10 and a 16 hp. This same year brought the speed designations on the line of outboards. The numbers that have been seen on the cowlings were for a speed rating. 1-12 would be a 3.6 hp. It would push a boat from 1 to 12 mph. This speed designation was only used in 1951 and 1952. You can check the YEAR LOCATER to see all the models and years as well as the speed designations.

In 1952, the 4 hp was dropped from the line. 1953 brought on the Golden Pennant. A dark green bottom and a gold top. This was only used on the 7½ and the 10 hp. This new color scheme with the addition of the two outboards being a thin motor with a band and a cowling that split down the middle didn’t sell as well and was only run that one year.

In 1954, the invention of the Bail-A-Matic was introduced on the 5, 7½, 10 and 16 hp motors. This feature would allow you to drop a small unit in the bottom of a boat and a hose would lead to the outboard where it would bail. Click BAIL-A-Matic to learn more. In these early years most boats were wood and as we all know had the tendency to leak a little water. This feature didn’t win the population over. It had its share of problems and was no longer advertised as a top feature.

In 1955, they introduced their 30 hp outboard. In 1956 it was changed to a 33 hp. Their line for 1956 was a 3.6, 5, 7½, 10, 16 manual start, 16 electric start and a 33 hp. This same year Scott-Atwater was approached by McCulloch to buy the outboard operation. Scott-Atwater did sell out this same year. 1956 also saw the last year of the Corsair outboard. An outboard that Scott-Atwater had produced since 1946. (I will list the other outboards Scott-Atwater produced further down this page.)

In 1956, Scott-Atwater was purchased by McCulloch Motors Corporation.

In 1957, the 33 hp became a 40 hp. Although the name Scott-Atwater was still on the cowling they called themselves “Scott”. Also in 1957 the fiberglass cowling appeared on some of the outboards. 1958 saw the beginning of their new 60 hp that was a 3 cylinder. The name on the outboards eventually became Scott and Scott-McCulloch. By 1964 all of the motors were changed to the McCulloch branding.

In 1967, McCulloch ceased production and marketing of outboard motors with no further support.

In January 1999, McCulloch Motors Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and sold its European division to Husqvarna AB. In October 1999, its North American operation was acquired by the Taiwanese company Jenn Feng Industrial Co.

Vendor's Offerings

2-Stroke Cycle Outboard Motors

This list is of the outboards that Scott-Atwater produced. Some of these models were marketed by other companies as with the case with Firestone.

From Sports Racer.net & Scott-Atwater.

Scott-Atwater Outboard Model Identification

Scott-Atwater:  1946-1958 1/2 Pint of Oil per gallon.   1959+ 3/8 Pint Per Gallon.

The 1946-1951 outboards have three digit model numbers. The first two digits are the years and the last digit is for the horsepower. I don’t know how the last digit correlates to the horsepower. They are as follows:

I have found that the master manual shows the 1946-47 as a 3.5 hp. I have ads that show it as a 3.6 hp. The back of the master manual also shows it as a 3.6 hp.

*Represents the MPH the outboard would push a boat. This was on the outboards gas tank decal and only used in 1951-52.

The 1952-1958 outboards have a four digit model number. The last two digits when reversed is the year of the outboard. For example: the 1952 5 hp is a 3725. From 1952-1958 the first two digits stayed the same for the size outboard they represented. For Example: the 1952 5 hp had the first two digits of 37. That stayed the same from 1952-1958.  There is an exception, the  1958 22, 40 and 60 hp have a different model number. They will be listed below.

For outboards from 1952-1958 that are 16hp and under reverse the last two digits for the year. The first two digits are for horsepower. The horsepower is as listed:

30)  3.6 hp    37) 5 hp   33) 7½ hp   38) 10 hp   39) 16 hp

Example: A 3865 model number would be a 1956 10 hp.

Now for the exceptions:
In 1955 the 30 hp had a model number 3655. This was the first and last year of the 30 hp.  1956 saw this motor as a 33 hp with a model number 3665. 1956 was the first and the last year of the 33 hp. 1957 saw this motor as a 40 hp with a model number of 3675. Scott-Atwater used the 36 starting digits for the 30, 33 and 40 hp in consecutive years. 1958 saw the new 22 hp outboard. This 22 hp was tagged with a 3 digit model number. 1958 also saw the new 60 hp which also was tagged with a three digit model number. I will list these outboards with there model numbers.

(1955) Model: 3655  30 hp   (1956) Model: 3665 33 hp  (1957) Model: 3675 40 hp  (1957) Model numbers that have a -2 suffix is for long shaft. Used on 5, 7½, 10. On the 16 hp -3 was electric start. -4 on the 16 hp was electric start long shaft. (1957) model numbers for the 40 hp ending with a -2 are long shaft, -3 electric start, -4 electric start long shaft. -5 Royal Scott, -6 Royal Scott long shaft.

(1958) Model: 135 (235 if long shaft, 335 if electric start, 435 if electric start long shaft) 22 hp. The 1237 is a 5 hp long shaft, 1233 is a 7½ hp long shaft, 1238 is a 10 hp long shaft, 1239 is a 16 hp long shaft.

(1958) 40 hp motors are as follows. (Super Scott) 1236 long shaft, 1336 electric start, 1436 electric start long shaft. (Royal Scott) 1536 electric start, 1636 electric start long shaft. 60 hp (Flying Scott) 332 electric start, 432 electric start long shaft.

The 1959-1960 outboards brought a new model number that included numbers and letters.

(1959) The outboards were back to three numbers ending with the letter A.

(1960) The outboards all started with a letter then a number then two more letters. 1959 and 1960 saw the return of the Bail-A-Matic to all the outboards except for the 3.6 hp. 1959 saw the end of the 16 hp as well as the 22 hp. This year brought us a new 25 hp outboard.

(1959) Line of outboards…3.6, 5, 7½, 10, 25, 40 and 60 hp outboards. (1960) had the same line except for the addition of a 12 hp.

General Comments About the Website

FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."

FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"

FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."

FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."

FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."

FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."

FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."

FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article.
