Greeting all
I have a Searay 370 with an extended swim platform - using our inflatable was always such a hassle. Not davits yet, tried towing with the engine attached - too slow and a PITA. Have many times taken off the engine (Merc 9.9) and stowed it under a seat - another PITA. Yesterday my son and I tied the inflatable, engine and all, up on the swim platform - had some overhang on the back - the inflatable is 10'2" so the width was not a problem. Actually this process was a helluva lot easier than taking off the engine, etc etc.
