Towing dink 'stern-to-stern'?

Has anyone had experience with the system that raises the dink stern to stern, with just it's nose in the water? At least in theory it seems a good design.

I had considered using a system for this. You can find it here:

I don't know anyone who has tried it.

Wow, watching the video made me think that you could use the stern ladder and a couple blocks on the pushpit and do the same thing on the MKI boats without purchasing much more than a couple cam cleat blocks to mount on the rail.

Very interesting. I have to think about this for a while.
