we hang a 2.7m rib and 10hp o/b on the back of Beleza, I thought at first it was way too big but once it was up it seemed to shrink. our beam is 3.6m. It is heavy though and extra straps are needed to secure it on passage even with o/b off

It would be worth mimicking the weight of the dingy to ensure it doesent lower the exaust below the water line as it could cause back presure and cause lots of black soot on the transom.

Shouldn't be a problem.... exhaust is currently a good 10" or 12" above the waterline....

Have you thought about a Walker 8? Hardshwll dinghy but with its RID it will easily support 3 adults and can take full sailing rig. We have one, wonderfully stable and looks better than a standard RIB.

Yup, but they must have put an extra zero on the price tag by accident.... As much as I like them, the price for a rotomoulded boat is incredible!

if it helps to see an image
- this is a 2.8m dinghy on a 12m LOA (4m beam) boat. I think it's a little big for the boat but it's not sufficient of an irritant to warrant changing the dinghy (or the boat!)

Nice picture of you both Robert! I didn't realise you'd put davits on your boat as well.

It doesn't really matter what the beam of the boat is. The width of the transom is more relevant: if it sticks out too far you can have problems. A Janbenbav can carry a much bigger tender than a Contessa for example.
Of course if you aren't stuck with a half-boat you have more scope. My 11 ft tender fits comfortably between the hulls

One hull good, two hulls better.

Was this "Swing Easy" by any chance?

No - she was once "Obsession M". I recall the name "Swing Easy" but I can't remember from where - remind me?

If you come round to Chi Harbour you can try our WB 10 for size ...
probably your best way is to borrow a couple of tenders and see how they look ...
