I'm on a boat! A M'F$%#ing boat!

Inherited a nice 10' inflatable and 8HP motor.

The boat has the davit rings already mounted. Looking for the swim platform attachment points (maybe with the removable mounts to keep the kids feet safe?) and standoff bars. Am hoping someone has a gently used set from a previous boat or a project they didn't get around to.

Please let me know make, model, condition and asking price. You can PM me if you don't want to put it out in the clear.

I have a towing bridle but want to be able to keep the boat mounted to the swim platform when in the slip.

Thanks,

J.J.

JJ,
Just so you know, the Weaver quick release mounts will NOT fit into the swim platform cutouts. I found a pair of the quick release mounts on e-bay and tried to fit them but they are too wide to fit in the cutouts.
I had a friend make 2 aluminium blocks that I bolted to the swim platform in the cutouts and now, when I use the dinghy, I just bolt my davits in place and remove them when not in use.

Good call, Frodo - I do have some 3/4" starboard left over from the decking I did on the little boat that I can use as a filler between the davits and the backing plate under the platform. Would almost definitely do the quick release plates in this case for the swimmers & jumpers.
