rental boat in the opening of the first season the prop boat used for the beach scenes and the boat from the second and third seasons openings so i did what was easiest and mixed the three differnt boats together to make one

Mike, I think 1/63rd is model railroad "S" scale, like the OLD Lindberg B-17G.(!)
The scale was not real popular, but Walters model railroad catalogue might have the figures.
Prieser (German outfit) makes a whole bunch of various scaled figures, to include folks in bathing suits.
