Try searching on the power boat for sale sites, enter length and engine type in or outboard.

It's easy to say what it isn't. It's not Simms, Fletcher, Phantom, Ring, Dateline....

I dunno what it is. I've played with boats like that for 30 years and can spot most of them, so all I can tell you is that it is very unusual, built in v small numbers only, not one of the "known" brands, sorry. The boat is quite a bit older than the engine I'd say. Back in the 70s when it was likely built there were loads of tiny manufacturers, now all long gone
