Good morning all.
I have a 23 foot cabin cruiser with a 200 hp outboard - i also have a 6 foot dinghy which i keep in the cockpit when tied up, and i keep on deck, or tow when under way. It is quite a hassle to steer with, when on deck, and the towing can't be doing the fittings any good, so i thought of installing davits on the stern to stow the dinghy when under way. since i have an outboard engine, and its not a big boat, do you think i wil be spending good money that i will regret? If i do this, i will probably install detachable davits that can be stowed when not in use (and will allow the rain cover to be put in place when moored).
I enclose a photo of the boat - this shows two engines, but the boat now has just one outboard.
thanks
Cliff
