Seems I posted a bit hasty lol  found this if anyone's interested (dates the boat I just got a bit closer):

Established in 1954 under the name Aluminum Boats & Canoes (1954-1970), the company went on to do business under a variety of names, including Canadian Boat Manufacturing (1970–1973), Alcan Marine Products (1973–1985), and Altra Marine Products (1985–1990), before becoming a trademark of Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) in 1990. When OMC went bankrupt in 2001, Brunswick Corporation purchased the brand, which operated officially under the name Princecraft Boats Inc. from that day forward.
