Try buying a tender and tow it behind with all your stuff or why not build an aft stowage section

you don,t say what size craft you have.
the previous answer about altering the trim and balance of the boat is spot on,
however, if your boat i big and heavy enough to cope with extra weight on the stern then you can build a solid platform to your own specifications with commercially bought UNISTRUT, a metal channel that is approx 2" shaped like a flat U. fittings are bought seperate and bolted together. stainless steel can be used as carbon will rust unless primed and galvy painted.

What you are describing is a "cat catcher" – there are a couple for sale on findafishingboat – though they may be a little bit large,as I suspect you have a narrow boat. They are usually custom made,from alloy or s/s tubing.

It sounds like you may be referring to davits that can hold a small boat and may have other equipment such as windmill generator or solar collector.

Watch out you don't alter the balance of the boat. If you add weight at the back, she will start to drag her stern, become harder to steer, and consume more fuel for same speed.

I am not sure you will. Plastimo UK and Jimmy Green Marine are good sites for chandlery, but I couldn't see what you describe. You may have to fabricate your own device.
