A little more information about where the boat is might help. And, what is the right hand picture showing? Some sort of keel?? Which doesn't fit in with the other shots.
Are you in Greece?

I think that's not a keel but just a skeg with a drive-shaft through it. The boat is (was) a clinker putt-putt, probably about 12' long by 5' beam, and I would think to no particular design. She might have had a cuddy, or have been part-decked. The engine, probably petrol, would have been amidships and covered in a wooden box.
I wouldn't expect there to be any plans of such a vessel anywhere, but rather that, like many other clinker boats, she came alive in that form as building proceeded. However, you might strike it lucky if it happened that a few of these were produced by the same builder.
I would think that in her hey-day she might have looked something like this --
Try searching on open, timber, clinker, inboard, putt-putt, runabout, and see what turns up.

There is something unusual about the construction of the stem too. No rebated stem piece, almost a small transom.

Thank you all for your help.
-Yes im from Greece and the boat is in Greece too.
-The right foto shows a solid iron triangle were the shaft goes through.The dimentions of this triangle is 1meter long,0,30 cm at the end where the propeler goes and 0,08 cm width.
-Some things that i know about thiS boat are that was on a yacht that constructed by BOTJE ENSING &CO 1961 at Gronningen Netherland.
-The dimensions of the boat are 5,14m long 1,74 m width 0,60 inside depth of the hull (i cant measure the outside hull).
-What is cuddy ?(excuse my nautical the teacher never learned me)
-Some fotos from my search that i beleive its near to my boat (exept the bow)

It looks to me that the stems been either badly modified or repaired at some time. A cuddy is a small open half-cabin, usually mounted over the forward part of the boat.

This boat was my fathers property.Wen he got her from the yaght he didnt change anything.after a few years he put fiberglass at the hull.Thank you for the cuddy.The boat had a flat top flush with the ''staircase'' at the front place about 50cm long that we usually put the anchor and the cord.
