We just purchased our new Achilles LSI-310E dinghy and Honda 9.9 hp
outboard motor. We purchased the setup from The Dingy Doctor. This one is gray, we got white.
September 2012 - Currently at MarinaKona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA
We bought a White Achilles LSI-310E
That means it is 10' 2" long. It has a blow up floor.
We got the blow up floor because we have a 36' sail boat and do not want to block hatches or have a large object on our coach roof when it is not inflated for storage. There is just a ton of reasons for every floor it seams but this is the one we like for our needs.
We also purchased a Honda 9.9 hp
outboard motor. Model BF 9.9 DK 3
Along with that we Danard dingy wheels. Achilles LSI-310E seat pad and cover.
Lifting harness 3 point boat 2 pick point
Pad eyes.
Stern LED light.
And we are having it all installed and it will be ready for pick up this Saturday.We will walk over to the boat ramp at Shelter Island and drive it home! Not often we get to skip the work and just enjoy the outcome😀
We have not decide on a cover yet. It seems it would be of limited use for us. If we keep it on the davits over night, most likely, it would not be put on as we would be using it. If we do not use it or spell we will deflate it and stor it. The cover would need storing also. We have not ruled it out and we may still go for it.
Chaps are what we want. Debbie will be making these when there is time available.
We opted to not install the dinghy wheels or make the harness etc as we have plenty of other projects going.
We will be making a trip over to Benchmark Custom Welding to see if we can get them to make an outboard moor bracket on our stern rail. We tried the Edison Marine one just in case it might work but we have an up stanchion at that spot and a curved stern rail at the spot for the motor.
