Cradle

I was able to find the measurements online and welded a cradle out of cut down sailboat stands Zeke put 1149 on with a forklift and it fit perfect.


Thanks for all the responses! Does anyone have plans or suggested idea of what to give a fabrication shop to build off of?


Thanks!

I purchased a power boat trailer off FB marketplace for $1,100 and added uprights and keel support.   I think I have $1700 in it with parts screws jacks.  

75-mph no problem

As long as you have access to a lift, using a cradle and a flatbed is very doable. We store several like this, especially when we are working on them. I would look for some used, or see if you can get a local fabrication shop to make you one.

Anyone have/use a cradle for their ensign and then strap to a multi purpose flat bed trailer? I contacted Triad trailers and they said they'd fabricate a cradle for $3K. Anyone have luck purchasing a cradle from another vendor?


Thanks!
