Putt Putt sounds like one of the many one-cylinder lobster boats that worked on the Maine coast in the 1930s, 40s and early 50s. The boat's basic design says to me that she was probably built in the UK or Europe. A cute and capable vessel, but of course, slow.
That Transport Canada registration number indicates where it was applied for. Mine are 12K which is from Patterson crossing south of Rossland BC. 13K may be Nelway south of Salmo or Rykerts crossing south of Creston. If that helps!
I think the prefix numbers start at the coast then get bigger heading east across BC. This cute mystery boat looks a lot like a woody one that’s used as a sign above the entrance to a Fish and Chips in Creston.
I've seen this exact boat before, and loved it. But I couldn't figure out what it was exactly.

Yep—that's the one!

Sweet little boat!
Putt putt matches the look perfectly
I don't recognize the boat, but I would start with a HIN look up, which should give the manufacturer's name, and go from there.

This boat pre-dates HIN’s.

Well it’s a cute putt putt, but I know nothing except that!
