Is this the boat?

At 170 lbs, you would be far too heavy for it. It was really made for kids. Here's a link to a page with more info:

Still looks like a neat little boat. I really like the 'double stack' with an H14 underneath... or just throw it on the roof rack!
The sail has 5 battens like an H14- I wonder how much it would take to modify an H14 sail to fit? Maybe someone already added H14 rudders- or else it could be easily done... But then there is the dreaded 'hull rot' situation
If I lived closer I'd pick it up for the grandkids- and as a 'Hobie Heirloom'. Wonder what shipping from FL would cost?
