Thats an ATCO Alright. 1940s 80cc 2T Villiers Lawnmower engine. I think they called them Impellers instead of an outboard motor. But dont quote me on that.
Theres a good one sitting on display at the brisbane maritime museum.

Atco Model 79 boat impeller manufactured between 1948 & 1960.
0.6 bhp at 1400 revs, 79cc,
They made 4 different models.
I have a couple of these that I use to impress the girls with how cool I am.
Yes I am single!
Everything doable, except thrust bearing located in the middle of the long tail.
