Hi - We have just purchased a 2007
Dufour 385 Grand Large and are searching for a
dinghy to take us to the shores of the many islands and
reefs we plan to explore in our new cruising territory/home in North
Queensland Australia. We though
RIB hull would be good and wanted
inflatable with hypalon to endure the UV here in the tropics. We've found a 3.4 mtr with alloy
hull and 6 hp
engine for a good
price but a friend says it's too big for
davits on the
boat, which we had planned to add. What have others' experiences been with boats around this size and tenders? The beam of our
boat is about 3.9 and it's lots wider in stern than bow. Thanks for your help. We're newbies in our second childhoods...
