Great toys, lousy when it comes to shifting gear for that beach barbie

I,d like to know what type of boat the “9m “ is first ?
Either a D or P boat space will be critical @9 M .
If a P then depending on how easy it’s to plane as is ......adding more Kgs tender ( biggest one that fits advice + same for the OB ) might depending on the Hp available and pre disposition to prop fouling in North Wales might knacker it’s ability to get up and plane .

Gold std would be a small life raft stowed in a suitable place for the 4 of you .More as a wife + kids insurance/ confidence....comfort in the knowledge etc etc .....going out to sea .
Then weight permitting a small slat type inflatable , to get the family on to many lovely beaches up there .
Something light enough it can be family handled and simply put on the back somewhere when motoring .
Or left packed up if planning to visit a local marina / wharf .

Difficult to be specific with out a pic of the boat tbo .

Unfortunately can't seem to upload photo as says file size is too large. Anyway, beam is 3.4m / 11 ft which is fairly wide. Swim platform seems to be obvious place. Stow the outboard in a locker presumably so it doesn't get nicked?
 
As you are in the marina and paying per meter I'd say weaver snap davits are your best choice. A 2.70 to 2.80 tender offset from the cockpit door should fit well enough to leave you room to get out.

It won’t get knicked in Conwy Marina (bloody rare) and you can store a 4 stroke in a locker
A 2 is better anyway
