Anyone remember the Brunswick RunAbouts? I just got a 1964 Cutter/Scamp.<br />The boat is 13'8" fiberglass and rated up to 65Hp. The boat and original trailer are in <br />great shape and so are the pulley's & steering hub. I considered putting a new 50 on it<br />then sold myself on restoring it so i have a few questions...<br /><br />I located a 68 Merc 500 with 15" shaft, I was told it was a racing motor, Is this a sick idea<br />for a 13'8" glass boat?<br /><br />What was Brunswick's "motor of choice"? merc evenrude etc...<br /><br />When I mount the motor & recable the steering, should I tension the pulley springs?<br />if so, about how many #'s<br /><br />what were the colors like back then... the boat was originally a dark tan, and seems to have been painted white<br />minus one small area of the dash and 3 "racing stripes" on the bow...<br /> were the boats 2 toned options and if so what color combo's were available. <br /><br />the carpet is green and the seats are red... were there other options than this?<br /><br />I know this all sounds crazy, but it just seems right to restore her to her original beauty<br />that and my buddy keeps houndin me to get it in the water and take him to the flats.
