I don't like davits!
In Response To: I don't like a long painter ()

No question that if the dink is flying around on a long line, it's time to haul it in. I'd go with the pushpit approach then. We had davits on a charter boat once and it was a great nuisance. A proper setup and experience might have helped! But it's a lot of weight and obstruction on the stern, IMHO.
