I recently purchased a F44 with a Freedom lift.  I am looking at a couple of options for a dinghy for this unit.  I have spoke with both Tiara reps. and Freedom lift reps. with little results.  I am partial to the Avon 340 SeaSport which is a 11'2" vessel that has a combined weight of approx. 650lbs.  The other is an AB ALX 11 which is 11'6" and 450lbs.  Seems no one can tell me which dinghy this boat will handle effectively.  The fact that the Freedom lift is positioned aft of the swim platform is a concern for me.  I realize that going with a 10 tiller vessel is the safe bet but I like the comfort of a wheel dinghy. I suppose the newness of this model is the biggest problem in finding anyone with an educated answer to this.

Any thoughts on my best solution? Any input would be appreciated.

p.s. I have the IPS600 drives on this vessel.
