+1 Never had a problem with a gasoline tank in the dinghy...and I sail in a washing machine: aka Buzzards Bay. If it wont shake loose there...it ain't gonna shake loose anywhere.

It is not ideal for davits, I just tow my dinghy. My dinghy has a 6 gallon tank and sometimes I have a 5 gallon jug in there too. That is plenty of dinghy gas without carrying more jugs on deck. I would not try and make an inboard diesel dinghy, but YMMV.

I really don't want gasoline on the boat. I thought about just having row and sail power for my dinghy, but the are times and places that having a motor would be desirable. There are some small diesel motors on ebay, for less than a few hundred dollars and I enjoy construction projects. So, I thought about making either a diesel outdoors out of on, or building a dinghy and making it have an inboard diesel motor. I've downloaded some plans for a small water taxi type boat with an inboard gasoline engine of about 3hp. I am looking at how to adapt the design to a stitch and glue build. I'm sure that I'll need to install davits to carry it as there really isn't open deck space on the 39 to carry it forward. Any one have experience in adding davits to the 39? _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com
