What's a practical limit on length/width/weight of a dinghy to carry on
the Garhauer davits? I'm thinking of getting a Zodiac Cadet with high
pressure inflatable keel/floor. The question is how big, and what size
motor. The 11 foot model has substantially greater payload than the 10
footer, but I'm a bit concerned about either towing or hauling a dinghy
that big on davits. The dealer is recommending a 6 hp engine either
way, and points out that you go from 4 people to 5+1 with the extra foot
of length, at minimal $$$ and weight. With our new dog I need to find a
faster / easier way to get ashore than our current method (rowing). We
often sail with four or five on board, plus dog now.
