I've got an Avon 310 RIB that came with our EB47. It rests on vee-shaped adjustable cradles mounted to a TNT hydraulic lift. It's a hypalon dinghy and showing signs of age. It's got a Yamaha 15hp 4-stoke.
Just last Season I'd bought a whole new zodiac with an inflatable bottom and a Torqeedo electric outboard.
I'd likely remove the Torqeedo when it's not in use, but at ~50lbs it's not like it'd reduce the weight by much.
I'm wondering if there's options for keeping an inflatable bottom dinghy on davits. Like the kind I've already got, or on others. I know the RIB works well on them but have no idea how an inflatable bottom would handle being stored that way. I'm just thinking ahead of time for when the seams on the Avon finally give out.
