Any suggestions for a davit for it? Only weights 405 lbs. talked to swimplatforms.com and they said that weight is not an issue

yeah, for now i will tow it, but St. Croix has an awesome set up where it is winched on from the side but it's like $4500. i came across one from Roll-N-Go that is a lake dock system that i am thinking about attaching sideways on platform, with the extension removable. winches up on ladder like device as if it were being loaded on a trailer.
would it be a bad idea to make a stiff bridle so that it wouldn't come hitting the back of the boat in a quick stop?
Todd, plastic electrical Metalic tubing pipe? I assume you mean schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC?I read on another thread here that someone used plastic EMT pipe to make stand offs for their bridle. Try doing a search.

I see Hurley makes a davit designed for the spark it's Hurley H30 winch type pull on

We purchased a similar system by another manufacturer to handle our walker bay (400lb). Three guys barely got the tender loaded and we ended up returning it to the manufacturer, 200lb maybe 400 forget it.

For you guys that tow, can you get up on plane while towing, or do you have to stay at hull speed? I just bought a 9.5' dinghy with a 9.8 on it and am trying to decide between davits and some kind of bridle system. I assume you have to keep it fairly far back. The complication for us is we go through a lot of locks making towing a bit complicated...
