    Hi Roger. First of all, you’ve made a great job of that outboard and the colours look great!
    After looking at your photos, I thought it looks very similar to an outboard I have with a Tecumseh motor on it, except that mine is a jet one.
    On closer inspection of my one,I notice that the clamp bracket is identical, so it would appear that we have the same outboard except that your has a prop and gearbox’
    The stickers on either side of mine show “Seamaster Jet” with a sticker across the front showing “CENTURY” 3.5hp Ram Jet, plus operating instructions.
    Unfortunately the front sticker although complete, has been painted over with red paint. Also showing is “Leader Dr, New Westminster B.C. which I found is near Vancouver.
    I have attached some photos below of mine. Interesting, my one has a fibreglass cowl round the tank and motor. Interesting too, is that there is some blue paint similar to what you used under the powerhead on the top of the trunk.

    Maybe some of our Canadian AOMCI members may be able to come up with more info?
    Hope this helps.

    PS I have a hunch that a firm called L J Fisher (or something similar) imported them into NZ back in the 1960s.
