Anybody have a cradle or trailer for a MK III they'd be interested in selling? We bought our boat without either. Assuming we won't be able to get anything used, our alternative is to order one from the Marine Cradle Shop in Markham (905-294-3507). We'd get a 5-pad cradle with the heavy duty frame, so that we could put the the boat and cradle on a flatbed truck or trailer, should we ever want to do so. Anyone have any comments or suggestions?
Thanks.Hugh Morrin

As you are considering a new cradle, think about getting a pad under the engine area aft of the keel.
I had my engine out over one winter for a rebuild and I was astonished at the way the boat changed shape in that area without the engine's weight. I don't know if it really makes much difference to the boat's strength or structural integrity, but with that experience, I would be inclined if buying a new cradle to add that support to the standard layout.
