Want To Buy: Dinghy Davits

[BurningDaylight]

Looking for a set of used dinghy davits, Martek, Garhauer or similiar style. If you have a set available please let me know. If your in South Florida, even better. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but we need to a get a pair of davits so we can lift and store the dinghy.

Burning, are you planning to sail with your dinghy in the davits? If so, do remember that they should be strong enough to take the shock-load of a wave breaking astern of you & filling your dinghy with water. Happened to us in the S Caribbean. If you're in those sorts of conditions, you probably have other things on your mind & don't want to have to deal with broken davits & rescuing dinghies full of water! But few folks realize this, & most davits we see aren't engineered for it. Good luck!

Thanks. Dinghy will be deflated and stored when we sail. Right now we are in a slip across from a nice little island we like to visit, and having to deflate and store the dinghy regularly to prevent growth is a pain. So wanted to be able to lift it on davits. Thought about the dinghy sling net, but not sure it'll work with my transom and swim ladder.
