Recommendations: CD26 Cradle

Post by Dg »

I currently have a wooden cradle(which came with my boat) and I am moving to a new boat yard for the winter. They do not want to accept the wooden cradle because it is starting to rot and recommend I find a used/new steel cradle. What should I consider in purchasing a cradle for this boat? Thanks!

After my cradle was condemmed by the boatyard, I went to using Brownell stands, five of them. They are relatively cheap -- about $50 each. The nice thing is that they can be moved around so bottom maintenance is easy.
