Sd,
If you can't hang it from davits you can tow it. The Pudgy is far more versatile than a Bote and both have their intended market. If I was cruising the chain I'd want a Pudgy, not a Bote.
The only problem I have with Pudgy's, and why one isn't hanging from my boat is the un-repairability issue - the polyprop a whatever will not take any type of adhesive known to man, once holed it's shot.

I've got a 9.5 foot Apex RIB hanging from my davits, looking for a 8hp to replace my 15hp now (too heavy).
