I need to modify a cradle to hold my Hunter 27-2 (89-94).
i do not know where the bulkheads/strong points are located on the hull so not sure where the cradle pads
should located. Any info re cradle measurements for a 27-2 (89-94) would be greatly appreciated.

Pick reference point and measure to the structural bulkheads inside.
IE. Measure from the transom to the first transverse bulk head. Often this associated with the cockpit lockers. Next there is usually a bulkhead around the engine bay associated with the bridge deck. Next front wall of salon. Often there is a full transverse under the v berth.

Mine has marks for slings for hauling out. I would guess they would be in about the right spot for a cradle as well. If yours is lacking these marks, I will take pictures and show you the location
