This davit system was mounted on a 40’ sailboat with a beam of approx 14’. There are two fixed mounting points on the hull and the davit arms were joined to the existing pushpit structure of the vessel. The system was used in conjunction with a 10’ West Marine Double Floor RIB weighing 130lbs. Hoisting was easy with the included block and tackle, and there are jam cleats mounted to the arms backed up by cleats.
The make / model is not anywhere on the davits, but according to the paperwork they are Kato Island Davits with an SS100 Stabilizer set.

The cross member between the davit arms has three welded risers that are used to attach the solar panels via a wooden subframe. The panels are bolted with large wing nuts so they can be easily articulated to capture the best sun.
I’ve included measuring tapes in the photos for reference. Please let me know if there are any specific dimensions you need to figure out if this will work for your application. All components are in excellent shape with no pitting or rust. The wood support structure for the solar panels is faded but still solid. Everything in the photos is included except the dinghy.

180 Watt Rigid Marine Solar Panel - Sunpower A+ Grade 24.4% Efficient Cells
The solar panels are in excellent condition with no defects or damage to the panel surface or frame. The panels were mounted next to each other and are currently wired together - the wiring shown in the photos is included. There is no solar charging controller or longer cable to connect to a controller included with the sale.
I’m not sure of the original purchase date or vendor. The panels appear to still be manufactured - I’ve included the specs from the product page corresponding their part number below:

This entire system was purchased along with the boat and I don’t have a need for it in my application - everything was very solid underway, carefully removed, and is in great condition. This setup was $6000 new - Best guess it was all purchased and installed in 2021. I currently have everything in storage, but can get everything to Rock Hall, Philadelphia, or Allentown PA for a serious buyer.
