Boat cradle
Anyone on here has any pictures of a cradle made to set your boat on when flipping it over?

Re: Boat cradle
Could always do like Chet did and just put it on the trailer. He flipped it, worked on it, then drove it to and from the paint shop like this. This was the day he picked it up from the paint guy. His shop was like an hour away too. lol
