I'm a regular subscriber to the TWL as bigabuda@aol.com but cannot subscride with Pocketmail due to the length of so many messages on TWL. Pocketmail is great for a boat as email can be sent on any analog phone but is limited to 4000 characters and no attachments. Usual disclaimers apply. That being said does anyone have any experience, designs, etc. on DIY transom davits for a hard dingy? The davits would be for a 34' Marine Trader. I am considering making them from steel, and hot dip galvenizing them. There is a concern near Richmond, VA that gave me an estimate of $75 to do so. Pleas reply direct. Thanks.
