Oh OK, I forgot, with the swiming platform you cant use a davit.
And no since in having a proper steering console on a dink if you have
to stuff it in a locker all the time.


15 HP aint much for 4 NYers and a kid IMO.


A few 35s5's had davits, but it's not something we need. 5 hp on the
previous dink worked fine with 3-4 adults. No planning, but what's the
hurry? I'll buy either a 6 or 8 HP so it's not a drag to lug around. 15
HP is crazy to have on a 35 foot sailboat. I don't think I've ever seen
a small sailboat carry such a large dingy motor.
