What is the Heaviest Dingy you have suspended from the stern of a Beneteau 473 or similar boat?

Depends on whether you have an arch or davits. I have an arch on a 393 and keep my dink and motor on it all the time coastal cruising. One of the problems with davits on later model Beneteaus is there is not a lot of support at the transom. Another problem with the 473 is that the trim doesn't seem quite right as it sits way too low at the stern (certainly lower than "designed") and more weight there might put your waterline nearly above the step.
