We used to tow our dingy behind our sailboat.

Our new 22 has twins and I'm scratching me head on where to store the Honda outboard when the dingy isn't in the water.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Put the Honda in the dinghy on the roof. I am not a fan of the 2 hp Hondas, so I have a Merc 3.5 hp which weighs 30#. We currently are using the Torqueedo, travel 1003, about the same weight. Wrap either of these, up ion a carpet, and put them inside of the inflatable (we carry a 9 1/2 foot air floor, hoisted with the Gauerhart davit. The motor rides fine there. Did this with AK, as well as many other trips.

Hi, we also have twins, and agonized over where to store a dinghy (and what kind to get, how much to spend, etc.) We finally bought an Achilles LT2 and carry it on the cabin top with a little 6 foot long plastic kayak on top of that. It looks a bit cumbersome but the overall weight is not too much. It is certainly convenient, and frees up the cockpit, and when you are behind the wheel it is invisible.

Don't know if I can do this on the tablet but I will try:

Didn't work but you can look in my photo album under SleepyC Portraits and see where my dinghy rides, and I have twins, plenty room for that little 2 pony kicker in the cockpit on a bracket.

Could mount one of these somewhere out of the way. They both vertical and horizontal inserts in different sizes.

Barry had a simple and effevtive method for storing the 2hp Honda on his 22. See the C-Cakes album page 4 for more photos.

Thanks to all who replied.

We are noodling over the possibilities.

We only have 5' from the radar dome to the back of the cabin top.

On our TomCat, similar to what Roger B. is talking about.

The upside down method seemed to hold promise but I went out to look.

Here is what I have on the forward cabin top.

It appears that if I turned the dinghy upside down over the radar dome, the antenna mount would be right where the dinghy tube would rest resulting in damage to the dinghy.

Mine is mounted on the roof, but so that it penetrates the roof under the brim (i.e. more forward) instead of into the cabin. Imagine a line extending the handrail until the cabin wall is cleared. Mine has a doubler of Starboard on the underside to distribute the load better. But, I also have a much bigger antenna than shown in the pictures.
