Does anybody on this forum own a Mainship 390?
If so what sort of dinghy do you have?
I need to get a second hand dinghy. For now I am doing recreational around Miami but at the end of the year plan to go to the Bahamas for 6 months or so.
There is just me and my wife. I already know I need a RIB.
I was thinking of a 9 or 10 foot. I think I need at least a 15hp.
Am I on the right track?
Main question. My boat does not have a davit. I was thinking of pulling tender onto the swim platform and tying her up at an angle? I think I would have to remove the motor every time I did this. Is this a good idea?
Should I be looking at installing a davit? If so any suggestions on where to go for advice? I live in Miami / Fort Lauderdale area.
Hit me with your comments. Don't hang back. I have thick skin!
