I purchased the pivoting dinghy davits several years ago for my inflatable. They were easy to install simple to use and accomplished my goal of having the dinghy on the stern of my sailboat ready to use at a moments notice. No more getting the dinghy out of the locker inflating and assembling it. This is a good solution to the dinghy problem.
