I am looking for a factory (or heavy duty equivalent) cradle for my 92 Hunter 30. The collapsable cradle that came with the boat is too weak to use with the hydralic trailers used on my lake. Any ideas on source?? Dave
I have a collapsible steel cradle made by the Marine Cradle Shop in Toronto, Ontario. (905) 294-3507. It has 7 adjustable pads and is fairly sturdy. My yacht club launches and retrieves the boats by crane by putting the cradles on hydraulic trailers that are like long "U-shapes" that can raise and lower enough to put the cradle on blocks on the ground. I assume that is what you are describing. There seems to be no problem with the cradle's strength. There is a Hunter 37 in the club that is handled this way with no problem.
I have a '91 30T which I purchased without cradle. I had one made and instead of pads I build bunks which distribute the load better on the hull. I have a plan for it if you'd like a copy. I cost me about $1300.00 canadian but is built very sturdily,
Mike; I would like a copy of the plans if its not too much trouble. If electronic send to gosail23@aol.com. If hard copy send to D. Fox; 6976 Hidden Ridge Dr. Westchester, Ohio. thankyou for the reply and help. Dave
Mike; My previous response to you got mixed up by the site. I would be very interested in your specs and drawings for the H30 cradle. My EMail address is Gosail23@aol.com and street address is 6976 Hidden Ridge, Westchester, Ohio 45069. Thanks Dave
