Tubs, not to side track the OP , too far, but that Guppy you have appears to have some sort of water pump foot. At first I was thinking its a water jet propulsion unit outboard, but looking closer I see a 90* pipe nipple pointing upward. Strange, looks like it’s designed as a bailer/ sump pump. What do you think?

Turn your rowboat into a submarine ?????
Its a cast part so its not likely home made.
That would seem to indicate its factory.
Something that the jet drive came with or you
could order to use the motor as a pump.
Also maybe you could order this motor as
a jet drive or with the prop drive as Roger has.
Most often just the power head was used
for a pump but here is an example (more
picture files) of a pump that could be adapted
to an outboard motor. Somewhere I have an ad
for this pump. The motor / pump is pictured
on a boat with a hose attached and says it can
be use to wash your boat, water garden, some
other stuff I cant remember. Seem that the
Guppy, with this adapter, could to be used
the same way.
