Hi TF'ers
I'm restoring my swim step but considering real Davits since the Weavers are difficult for us to use with our hard dinghy, and the extra stress on the swim platform caused one of the platform supports to crack.
My research so far has come up with these manufacturers.

Atkins & Hoyle, Ltd.

Edson

Forespar

Martek

Ocean Marine

St. Croix
#1 Choice for Davits, Cranes & Lifting Devices - St. Croix Marine Products
There are others and among the above prices vary greatly.
I wonder what king of stress the Edson & St Croix put on the stern bulkhead rail, it seems they are only mounted at one point. I'd be interested in reading folks experiences and/or recommendations.
Cheers
