Here are a couple I could find. It rides well, but I do sinch it down tight and if rough water run a line or two back to the cleats to keep it from bouncing around too much. My last boat (Tiara 40) had a hydraulic swim platform which kept it closer but of course left no room for using the swim platform while RIB on it. Everything is a trade off. The PO had the Freedom Lift put on. It probably hits the speed by a MPH and I do run full tabs when it is on the lift... although I run full tabs all the time anyway. It does cause the boat to list a bit to the right, the 40hp plus fuel is all on the one side so it's kind of expected. I'd day about an inch lower on the stbd vs port. A smaller RIB would likely not cause this.Can you post some pics of the dinghy on the freedom lift. How does the boat ride with it on that far back? Any pics of the lift out of the water?
The one pic is from the Cheboygan River lock, they list it as 16x60 max, I was using all if it!
