Hi,

Is it really a Davit launched Life Raft you require?

Davit launched rafts are normally very large capacity.

Are you sure it's not a davit or crane launched Fast Rescue Tender you are looking at?

I would have thought that a boat the size you are dealing with would be able to use 1 or 2 each side to satisfy the 150% rule. In heavy weather ( the only time you are likely to need the rafts)Smaller Rafts are much more stable if only part full than big ones.
