My dinghy weighs in at 450 lbs and motor (30HP Honda) weighs about 220 lbs. I wish I had thought more about this when I bought them. That is a lot of weight on my davits which are designed for 250lbs each. I reinforced the deck and added an aluminum brace across Davits. I also added a 3 to 1 purchase on one side which lifts dinghy nicely but 2 to 1 purchase will have to be replace. I can lift motor using mizzen halyard and mount to stern railing but, With all that weight (dinghy and Motor) boat bow raises up. When sailing I will distribute weight better maybe by putting motor next to main mast.
