Dinghy storage and launch options 4700 S - Fixinbones - 01-30-2023
So I’m in the process of purchasing a 4700 Sovran. It has a very large swim platform and I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a storage and launch system. I’m planning on a 10-11ft rib with maybe a 15 hp engine.

I have a 10’ RIB with a 10hp in a DinghyRampXL and love it. Great construction, design, and usability. I can load/unload myself. The only time it gets a bit too heavy is with a full fuel tank, so I’ll frequently pull that out of the RIB before hauling.

Looks nice. I was looking at the Hurley marine ones as well. They have a pull on one like yours and then the one that you winch up and rotate. So if I got a bigger or heavier dinghy I could load and unload it with two people?

I have the dinghy ramp XL as well. 11' RIB w/15hp motor.
The winch on the Hurley H30 looks slick to me and that's probably what I'd go with if I were buying one now.
