Hello and welcome to the forum. The 42 is a fine vessel which should treat you well.
I can’t comment on the Hurley but I installed a dingy ramp on my 43 Open and had absolutely no issues with a 12’ rigid bottom and an older 15 hp 2 cycle Merc. I tied a pulley to the tender with the line going to the transom grab handle and could pull the dingy up with ease. When full of fuel and going onto plane the dingy would lift a couple inches and settle right back. Otherwise saw no issues in rough weather.
I can’t remember which model I purchased, may have been the XL but would expect the same results regardless.
Good luck and happy boating with that 42. Beautiful boats.
