Scott,
Silver Lining hauls a Rover R3.10 RIB (LOA 10'2", 150 lbs empty weight) on a set of Ocean Marine Systems Davits (SD-30 system). There is plenty of room for the dingy. I haul with the transom to starboard, bow to port. Usually remove the outboard prior to lifting the dingy.
There are a few pics here...

and I could email you others if you have specific features you want to see.

I will make that call but my question is really about whether there is <br>room for a larger dinghy on the back of at 320. Is anyone hauling a 10 <br>or 11 foot inflatable on davits, or is this too big for the boat?<br><br>Richard A. Walker wrote:<br>> I suggest first that you call Mike at Garhauer.

The 300 uses 1" ss pipe and<br>> the 500 1.25" SS pipe.<br>><br>> The pictures of our installation I think is some place on the web site.<br>> Jeff can help with that. WE have a 9' dingy and a 2 cycle 4 HP Evinrude<br>> engine. I doubt that the entire thing weigh more than 100 lbs. The set up<br>> is great and the dog loves it. An added bonus is that the davits make it<br>> much easer getting off and on the boat.<br>><br>> Cheers,<br>> <br>> Dick Walker<br>> C-320 (687) WindWalker II<br>> 740 Olive Ave.<br>> Coronado, CA 92118-2136<br>> 619.435.8986<br>><br>><br>><br>>

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