Little is known of Scooter's history |
|
The 17' mahogany carvel was an ex Lake Tahoe (USA) boat and known as Red Ryder |
|
It was offered for sale in Australia in 2005 |
|
It was eventually sold along with its original Universal Star Marine 75 hp 4 cylinder engine |
|
The boat was refitted with a Honda Prelude 4 cylinder motor for improved performance and more particularly, better reliability. |
|
Renamed Scooter, it might be remembered when it appeared in a Mitsubishi advertisement in 2009, although it sounded very much like a V8 (View ad) |

Scooter is based in NSW |
