Nice modification to the cradle, Kent. They look great! So you were able to slide the boat into the cradles without it trying to fall out?

: Hi All,
: A while back at the rendezvous, Ross Leidy lent me the form for his cradles
: so I could make a set. After completing three boats I could not carry them
: all on my truck until now. I revised his design by adding a lap joint and
: a knob so I could turn the top part down to make it garage door friendly.
: I also added felt the the rear cradle, that way I can slide the boat on
: the truck just like in the Hydroglide Saddles by Thule. The front cradle
: has minicell foam padding. Thanks Ross, it all worked out great!!!
