[C320-list] Tender to hang on davits

[Christopher Nichols]

Quick survey of those with davits on their c320:
What size and weight is your tender/ motor?

I need a new one and would like one that:
Holds 4 adults in comfort
Not too long/wide. Suspect 9"6 is max...?
Not so heavy it causes a stress to the davits or push-pit
Preference for RIB
I have 3 options right now:

A new Highfield 260 with a 2.5hp for 3000
A used achillies hb 280 with a 9.9hp for 3500
A 1yr old mercury 310 with a 6 hp 10yo motor for 2300

The merc seems to be a w inner but i worry that at over 10 feet and 150lb all up it will stress the davits. 

Any thoughts?
