Dinghy Butler - any advice?

[Maravilla1]

Looking at putting a Dinghy Butler on my Marine Trader. We have a 10’ 6” aluminum bottomed RIB with a 15 HP engine (all in just under 300 pounds). Part of the challenge is working around the ladder down to the swim platform. Any experience with these systems? Thank you!

I have a custom Dinghy Butler that puts our Highfield 310 and its Yamaha 15 up at bridge deck height. It is very slick and everything Dick's marketing makes it out to be. The standard height would make the launch and retrieval process all that much easier.

I did the entire installation and while it pushed my ability, it made me a better DIYer. The job also gave me a complete understanding of how it works. Great lesson.
