Hello fellow boaters -
We are considering investing in a new tender with an electric outboard:
https://www.purewatercraft.com/product/rib-classic-360
It's pretty brand new technology, but the allure of a quiet engine, the lack of maintenance of a traditional outboard, and the environmental benefits are attractive.
The dinghy will need to be stored horizontally. We currently store our tender on our upper deck using a crane davit. However, this new tender is just a little too big for the deck.
1. Any thoughts on the pluses or minuses of an electric outboard (range anxiety, tech support, etc.)??
2. Does anyone have any experience or feedback with a Freedom Lift stern davit? This is what has been recommended by the company.
Thanks in advance.
Julie
