Davits?

[DoubleVision]

Just replaced my rubadub for a 2.7 rib and 10 hp outboard. Total weight 85KG. My plan is to mount it on the transom with the engine in situ (backs not what it was but still like to tear about the marina). My aft deck is already strengthened for davits and i`ve been trying to find a pair of whittal ED16 or 17`s or similar. Cooney want 2300 squids for new ones (ouch!) I was wondering if any one has any ideas for alternatives or wants to part with their davits.

OK, fairy nuff, & I suppose clamps might not be neat enough either. Hee hee

Plastimo do some for a few hundred quid, 100 kgs capacity I think. Some others do cheapo ones as well, but can't remember the names.
