August, what led you to choose this option?

I have had smaller ribs, most recently a Mercury 280 Dynamic with a Mercury 9.9.   For that I was using the Nautley Dingy Ramp HD's.    Worked great but still a manual load process which wasn't an issue since the boat and motor probably weighed around 2020 lbs or so.

New RIB is a 11' Inmar with a 25HP Suzuki- Full console boat, so over double the weight of the previous RIB.   The H3O plus handles up to 750 lbs.  It comes with a winch to load and unload.   They make a standard H3O that handles less weight.  This seemed like the best option compared to other major projects like Freedom lifts that can cost north of $25k.   Although I bought my H3O setup slightly used, the new set ups are around $4k or so.   There are a few models...

So in short, if you are looking at manual pull on Davits I would highly suggest the Nautley Dingy Ramp HD's.   If you want something more automated and are going with a larger RIB, I would say Hurley H3O.

I just re-read your post. Sounds like you have a smaller inflatable. If that is what you are planning to keep, you should be fine with normal manual load davits from Nautley.
