Yes, our dinghy is on the starboard side of the aft cabin. It is an 11
ft Caribe RIB with a 15 hp Merc which rides and performs well for a
boat of that size. It would be too much weight without a hoist
however. We use our mast and boom as a cargo crane but have extra
reinforcing stays on the mast, in addition to an electric hoisting
winch, and multi part block and tackle on the boom lift.

Unless you have an electric or hydraulic hoist, you really need to
stick with something that is light and easy to handle. A small, soft
bottom Avon with something like a 3 hp OB would fit that description
but not perform particularly well except for short harbor hops.
