Could not agree more!!

I am going to install a new davit system off the stern of my 43 DCFB. The dinghy will be a 10' AB aluminum Rib with a 15 hp motor. Total payload is just over 200 pounds.

I have used the same system on previous boats...easy to launch and easy to retrieve makes for greater use more often.
