We had the Achilles LSI-260 on our CD22. It slid (right side up) under a high radar arch that was on 1 1/2" Starboard blocks. It was the maximum size dinghy that could fit on the roof and not hang over. We used a 6hp 4 stroke Merc for it and as our get home engine but with 2 people in the dinghy, it really did not want to plane off so lower HP would have been fine. When we sold the CD22, we kept the dinghy and it will go on the new boat.
For lifting the dinghy, we had a Garhauer davit on the radar arch which made loading the dinghy a breeze. We had a second mount in the corner of the cockpit and installed/removed the OB prior to moving the davit and lifting the boat. All in all, a great dinghy and a very effective set up for handling it.
