It's a "Cutie." Actually, I don' know, but it is cute. I wonder what hp outboard it's designed for...I think you'll have fun with it, in any case.

I just brought it home! It doesnt have a name on it but it was a jetboat at one time, but someone took it out and put a transom in.

Check that transom carefully for strength before hanging an outboard on it. If they did a good job, it'll be fine. So, how long is that little character? Looks like about 8' to me. I'm thinking about 10 hp on it would scoot it along PDQ. A 15hp Johnson or Evinrude would make it fly, without too much weight. Keep us informed.

Scat Inc?

Scat Inc?

I bought this boat for $100 on Craighslist today and I looked up the Hull Id Number and it says this boat is from Scat Inc. I cannot find anything but hovercrafts from them. Does anyone know much about these boats

Re: Please help id this boat

anything after '72 must have a hin on it. usually on the transom, starboard side. but not always, my '75 is dead center on the transom.
modded transom?
maybe older?
might be hard to id.
invader? i doubt it though.. just a stab in the dark. that name just came to mind.
agreed, it's a cutie. ought to get some fine comments on that at the boat ramp... be a blast to drive around too...

Looks like a lot of fun. A 15hp should make it fly !!

Scatcraft. They made speedboats in the early 70's. Similar to the glastron speedboats you saw in the James Bond movie filmed in the Bayou. I had one friend with a 16' scatcraft with a 135 and another with a 14' with somewhere around an 80. They were scary fast.

Yep, that's looks to be a D&D Funjet !!! I think D&D Marine was out of Texas and closed their doors around 1990. Here is one on CL that still has the jet drive and is very sharp. Keep us posted on the build.
