I came across this in a magazine. We seem to cover how to carry a dinghy a far bit on this board so I wanted to post it as 'maybe something to look at'. Its $7,800 which is about half the other guys. I think it uses the hydraulic from an outdrive. I was thinking about it for a Jetski but not sure it could take the weight, its recommended limit is 650lbs. But for others it might be a good option.

I asked the salesman how many clients they currently have and he said 40. So its been tested.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
 
This does look very interesting, but I would like to know a bit more about the "Lower transom connection, where the transom strongest." I am not so sure about that being true on my boat, a 380 DA,especially once holes are drilled. Perhaps if some type of backing support plate was mounted, but I did not see any plates in the video?

So how about some input from you engineering types regarding your views?
 
This is very nice looking. I love the idea of being able to remove the "brackets". How much does the average 2 person waverunner weigh?
