RT 31 Owner in St. Helens (Or) call out

[Gin]

Hi all,

I’ve heard of a new(ish) RT 31 owner in St Helens who is working with NW Inflatables in Portland to configure a dinghy/outboard/hoist for the boat. I’m interested in making contact with the owner, both as a nearby fellow RT owner and because I am interested in the dinghy configuration.

If the owner hangs out on Tugnuts and sees this, or if anyone might know the owner, I’d welcome a private message with contact info.

Thanks!

I don't know the owner you referenced, but I'm in the process of installing a crane davit from Adkins and Hoyle on my R31S. Its base will sit on top of the (reinforced) aft refrigerator, and the vertical post will go through the roof (also reinforced). Here's a ink: https://www.atkinshoyle.com/products/dinghy-cranes-and-hoists/3000-rotating-crane.html

The dinghy will be stored on top of the cabin, between the smoke stack and solar panels. Support will be from soft chocks: https://shop.inflatableboatparts.com/product/softchocks-for-shallow-v-boats-pair/

Hope this helps!

Good luck with your crane davit! Be sure to post some pics once you have it installed. Looks like a stout product and a nice setup.
