Boat: 2000 Sea Ray 380 Sundancer
Swim Platform Size: 39″ deep x 128″ wide (the 34″ CAD dimension was for the SeaDek flooring)
Dinghy: Highfield CL310, 68″ beam
The 2000 Sea Ray 380 Sundancer / 380DA has a large enough swim platform to install our davits without the extensions.
The 2000 380DA has a swim ladder right in the middle of the swim platform. Thus, our davits should be installed immediately to the starboard side of the swim ladder, or 12.5″ from the centerline of the swim platform as shown by the CAD image above. Installing in this location should avoid running into any obstructions (beams, hardware, etc) on the underside of the platform.
If you don’t have this exact same boat, you can still learn a lot from this installation. The CAD dimensions of this swim platform were obtained by our customer when they had SeaDek flooring installed. So the CAD dimensions are for the SeaDek flooring itself, not the actual swim platform dimensions. The depth of this swim platform (from front to back) is approximately 39″. So any boat with a 39″ swim platform would work with our davits with no extension necessary.
