Boat lift cradle specs

[Ken-2520]

I am in the process of closing on my first Parker, a 2520 Modified "V". The boat does not come with a trailer, so I need to reconfigure my boat lift cradle to accept the new boat from scratch. From your experience, how many supports are best, what spacing / placement / angles / bevels work best for both the me and the boat?

Thanks for your help! :?:

Put the cradle under the stringers.

Find a bunk trailer on your dealers lot and measure it.
As Brian said, that should put the lift cradle supports under the stringers.

If wind can be a problem at your lift, consider a set of guide poles like the ones you see on the bunk trailers.
The guide poles will hold her in position while you make the lift.

Thank you for your input.

This is my first real fishing boat and I can't wait to get her out on the bay trolling for Rockfish!

Many thanks again!
