The "Seven-Dees" is another great find from the Dave Ryel collection! She was built in 1939 and was purchased by Dave's father in 1942. The boat was named after the seven members of the family - David Senior, Dorothy, Debby, Dan, Drew, Diana, and Dave. The WXH model denotes Heavy-Duty with a reinforced transom for a stout, 5hp outboard motor. The Ryel family were avid hunters and fishermen. This boat was used on the Genesee River, the Finger Lakes, Lake Erie, 1000 Islands, and the swamps of the Chautauqua for duck hunting. During the war years, the family was fed on the fish caught in the Penn Yan. This little boat has many great stories to tell and is a great find!
