Antique boat races

Great pictures, chachee52. Thank you.

I'm fascinated by the 4th photo down (SK-64). As a kid growing up on Lake Huron in 1960, I bought a very similar looking boat from a neighbor for $10 (a princely sum for a 12 year old in those days). However, mine was 12 feet in length and, rather than a big inboard engine, mine was powered by a hand-me-down, 5 hp Scott-Atwater outboard. Still it was a lot of fun and we spent many great hours on the water together. It was a sad day, a few years later, when my parents insisted that it make it's last voyage to the dump.

The boat bore a metal plate identifying it as a "Water Scooter" and, if I recall correctly, said it was manufactured somewhere in Utah. Has anyone here heard of this?

Supposedly one of my friends built the engine for SK-64. Now I say supposedly, he wasn't able to be there and he kept telling me it was the flat bottom white and orange one. There were a few of those. I sent him that photo and he said that was it.
He is currently rebuilding my 289 for my mustang.
