snip I am tired of having to lift my dingy overhead to store on top of my boat's sun room. Does anyone have any experience with ordering and installing an extended swim platform with tracks to carry their dinky? if so, can you recommend and inexpensive one? >>> We have a 'Dingy Caddy' on our 40' Mainship. It attaches to the swim platform and is extremely easy to use. We were traveling for 3 weeks and our 15 year old was out and about everyday and it worked extremely well. The owner of the company, Kevin is a great guy and the quality and cost is second to none. We looked at the SeaWise Davit but didn't go with it as you have to remove and store your fuel tank (the dingy is stored vertically) and the fact that it was difficult docking when you couldn't that well when docking. Here is the info on 'Dingy Caddy'. http://www.dinghycaddy.com/ Kenn Morrison

Clever idea as long as seas don't get too big and your dockage fees are not LOA "length over all"...otherwise the davit costs increases with every dockage. Joe M/V Carolyn Ann GH N-37
