Well I'm not an expert but it looks like an old goodyear seabee. If I were you I would take it to an antique outboard mechanic and have him take a look at it. GOOD LUCK

It is a Sears Water Witch. You see a lot of them at antique motor meets, but never see one that actually runs.

There's a 1939 in our local CL that looks identical.

Heh, heh, he started it on the stand, then picked it up and stuck it in the water. Be sure to take stand with you when you go boating.

Reminds me of a lawn mower we repaired. Guy picked it up and took it home and couldn't start it. So he brings it back. We give it one pull and it starts right up. So, he wanted us to put it in his car, still running. NO WAY!!!!
