That is an interesting set up. Do you know how much the boat and motor weigh? I had to have my swim platform rebuilt last winter because the PO did not seal the small davit system and the coring (wood) turned to mush, froze and delamated the fiberglass ($6k). I'm not sure the swim platform can take the weight of the davits, boat and motor without causing damage. I would want to mount the davit system closer to the transom, putting less stress on the swim platform. Do you know if the davit supports are located on the struts that support the swim platform?

Thanks for sharing the pics. The boat looks sharp!
