I do not plan on doing a full restore so believe flipping her is not an option to make this cradle Cad. Looking for a better idea. I have a bunk trailer but in my opinion it would not give me the support that I would like to ensure there will be no twist. will keep on looking for a usable idea for me.

if you have a bunk trailer......chances are its good......just as long as the boat hull rests on the bunks...not the strakes. also the bunks must go from under the transom to as far forward as they can.

if you need a good pic of cradles......click the link in my sig.......its on page one.

you can use google to search websites, which is what I typically do when the search feature isn't up to par.

type in "site:http://forums.iboats.com" to google followed by the term you would like to search.

like so: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site:http://forums.iboats.com+cradle

can also click on the images search in google to just browse pictures.d
