Hey TugNuts!
Newbie here, bought R27-Outboard.
Two questions:
1. Dinghy: I am buying the factory davit that flips a dinghy upside down over the motor. I was recommended a specific dinghy by my installer, but want to know what people think about fiberglass vs. aluminum bottoms, and PVC vs. high-tech tubes. Who has a favorite setup? Also electric vs. gas motors ...
2. Roof Racks! : I have the standard center-mount solar, but want to get a couple of flat gear racks for either side to lash down crab pots and "whatever". Any suggestions on that?
