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.
Thank you Admiral for your reply and comment on my brand new 42'!
I believe it was the XL since they recommend it for rigid bottom tenders...
Good luck to you and happy boating to you as well!
Alex
