  General Description:
• Designed by reknowned Naval Architect and heavy-weather sailing enthusiast Lyle Hess, this is hull number EADFK390A494, built by the well-regarded Edey and Duff Yard of Aucoot Cove, Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
• As a rowing dinghy, she tracks extremely well, and rigged to sail, she is weatherly, fast and simple to drive. This easy-to-store seven foot model includes nearly all of the options offered by the boat builder at the time.
• This boat, complete with the sailing package and all the options, was purchased new for $5,280 in June of 1995, and custom trucked to upstate NY.
• The Honda Kicker was purchased new in Henderson Harbor, NY in August 1995, for $1070, delivered. They have been garage kept from day one, and the boat, her engine and her gear have seen minimal, caring, adult usage in fresh water only.
• In 2011, Fatty Knees Boat Co., the present builders of Edey and
  Duff's originals, sold 34 tenders. The 8-foot version now (as of May 2012) sells for $5,700 with a sailing rig (no outboard included, of course).
• Designed by an old school seaman who understood the ocean, the Fatty Knees design exemplifies the best qualities of strength, seaworthiness, simplicity, beauty, and economy. This is a great little boat.
• I have no trailer or boat cover for her. She will fit comfortably in an 8 ft. pickup truck bed.
