Edendriver Legacy


Designed on John’s Island, South Carolina - the Edendriver is the living legacy of late boat designer, Seph Limehouse. Prior to his passing from cancer, Seph was able to finish three Edendrivers for family members, and his wife, Leigh, promised to find a builder to continue producing his design.

Using the molds that Seph left behind, Puffin Boat Company has taken on the production of Edendrivers at their facility in Hampden, Maine. After receiving the designs and molds, PBC’s fiberglass team was ready to get to work and complete their first Edendriver. In addition to continuing Seph’s dream, Puffin Boat Company is proud that a portion of Edendriver sales will benefit Seph’s wife and daughter as well as 15-40.org, an organization that raises awareness for the early detection of cancer.

Puffin Boat Company’s mission is to Build Boats with a Purpose, and the Edendriver is just that.
