I'll second this one as I can't imagine a couple dogs just sitting there smiling while being unevenly raised or lowered in a very unstable feeling vehicle...... and if you are thinking of babysitting the ride you're up to around 500lbs which is asking a heck of a lot from any davit system. Edit - sorry I confused the OP with another that mentioned 2 dogs... although the use of the dingy as an elevator is still not an option to me.
