Although I loved storing / transporting "SV Take 2" on the cradle because it is very sturdy and secure, it has gotten very difficult to find boat haulers on Long Island's north shore to handle cradle stored boats anymore.
I have changed over to storing the vessel at a yard that uses jack stands only.
I had thoughts of holding onto the cradle with the intention of using it for a long distance relocation but I am years away from doing that.
It is in great shape. Just need a few touch-ups to cosmetic paint spots.
Being steel, it is quite heavy.
If anyone is interested in it. It is located in Miller Place, Long Island, NY.
