Ours is. 2008 but same boat.
We have a Walker Bay inflatable with high pressure floor. About 9 feet.
I was more interested in weight and easy of handling with this dinghy. Previous one was too dang heavy.
I power it with a 4 hp evinrude. With me alone will make the dinghy plane. With two people it pushes it just fine.
We have carried it on the foredeck. Upside down with tubes facing aft and straddling the mast. I really don’t like it there. Gets in the way when docking as we travel. Have also carried it deflated and folded. It fits neatly on the swim platform between the stern lockers. Downsides with this location are, you have to inflate to use it, and it gets in the way of lowering the helmsman seat and accessing the stern lockers. But secured it rides nicely there.
Have thought about Davits but for how much we use it, I hate to spent that much money.
