Houseboat Dinghy Davits?

by Mike
(Michigan)

Looks like a great davit system for houseboats.

Looks like a great davit system for houseboats.

I would like to transport our dinghy behind our houseboat, and on the attached photo, I saw this particular method of putting a dinghy on the back of the house boat that looked very good. Does anybody know where they might have bought them?

I guess the dinghy would be stable for cruising and docking, yet be easy enough to lower into the water. I preferably don't want to take the outboard on/off since the motor weighs @ 80lbs and it's not easy.

I have seen those davits that look like two inverted "L" arms protruding off the back of the stern, but on our houseboat the stern has been extended and I don't think we could easily mount them without a major installation.

We love our dinghy, but it's always a hassle towing it.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

starstarstarstarstar 		Dinghy Davits for Houseboats
by: IAN - from www.all-about-houseboats.com

Bringing your inflatable dinghy with your houseboat has always been a bit of a problem. There have been many innovations with davit systems to make life easier.

I have used many varieties of dinghy davits and you can see the different styles.

You want to make the process as simple as possible, since you want to have the dinghy with you when you want to go for a quick spin, or go to get supplies, or simply to go fishing for a few hours.

Hope this all helps, and if any of our readers have picture or tips, let us all know.
