2002 Hunter 356 Dinghy Davit

[Knotallthere]

Hello,

I'm looking to install a dingy davit on our Hunter 356, I would appreciate input as to what the group would recommend. I'm looking for a clean setup that is cosmetically pleasing. The dingy is a Highfield UL260 which has an aluminum hull and is 8ft. 6 inches and is approximately 64 lbs. The outboard is a 6hp Mercury 4-stroke (dry weight -- 57 lbs.); I would like to leave it on the dinghy at times as opposed to always having to put it on the rail. What do you recommend?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Same question came up on this thread: Hunter 386 dinghy davit | Sailboat Owners Forums. See post #2 for some selection guidance AND suggest contacting the short list of davit manufacturers for photos of their davit installed on a 356.
