| Post subject: | Rib Tender on a 358V |
Has anyone mounted a RIB tender on the bathing platform or jet ski on a 358. if some has, have they used any davits, i am looking at mounting either a 2.7m or 3.1m rib tender with two removelable davits. I am planning to make up a bow and stern v mounting blocks that slightly over hang the transom. Total wieght with 10 hp outboard should be about 80Kgs so not to bad. Anyone have any comments? Cheers Sean |

If by RIB you mean the 'hard bottom' inflatable - you will want to be very careful about weight. Make sure the integrated platform on the 358 has enough support to handle the weight of a rib, motor, davits, equipment, AND people standing on the platform. Sierra has his 358 with an Achilles Hypalon... I have the same inflatable (9'6'') ready to go on te 318 platform. Both of us are using Weaver Davit systems. He has his motor permanently mounted with a Leaver system - I have a 2.5 hp that I will be stowing in the transom locker. Do a search on dinghy and you'll come up with some ideas. |

Hey Sean, I neglected to reply as I have no knowledge of how a RIB would work on our boats, but as Cougar mentioned, I have an inflatable/davit setup. There are threads with pictures and details here and here. |

RIB stands for Rigid Inflatable Boat, yes basically a fibreglass hull and transom with an inflatable ring around it. Very very common in Europe. Thanks for your posts, i do not think that 160Lbs is a real worry for the bathing platform, when this is basically 1 adult or in some/more cases alot less!! need i say more Cheers all Sean An example, West Marine have lots http://www.avoninflatables.co.uk/tender-boats/ |

We have a 6.5 ft Zodiac RIB that we lean on the swim platform and use the stern rail for support, we then stow a 6 hp merc 4 stroke under the cockpit table. It is not ideal but works for now. |

I have a Walker Bay Rib that is 8'10 on the back of our 248 that stays put with Weavr Davits. I would love to use the Hurley Davit, but will wait for the upgrade to do that. The dink weighs 120 lbs and is not a problem back there at all. I have a 9.9 Merc four stroke that I keep in the cockpit when underway. |

I didnt take any pics of the boat with the dink stored up. The boat is out of the water now for the winter. I just used the standard Weaver davits with quick release plates on the swim platform. Glued the pads to the dink and that was it. Next year I am going to install stand offs to keep the dink from rubbing the seat. |
