What dingy weight would this hold? I have a dingy weighing approx. 600 pounds.

I'm not at all sure. I can't find much (any) information on line. I'd recommend you contact the company directly and get it straight from the horse's mouth. Offhand, though, I'd be surprised if they were rated to 600lbs...that's a LOT of weight to have swinging from a 4-foot long lever arm without additional reinforcement. But after thinking about it, the davits could be reinforced by installing an additional support strut at the middle of the arms. I thought that location was for a block and tackle, but it could also be used for a support rod. In any case, it would still leave you to wonder if the tips of the arms could support that kind of weight.
