I intend to build a cradle out of 2" x 12" x 16' lumber and 4x4's and carriage bolts. I flirted with the idea of a steel frame and castors so I can move it around because my '89 20 CC will take up a lot of the available work space. On the other hand, it the boat being in the shop is a pain, I might get it done faster. Last project the customer had show dollies, which worked great!

I keep the boat in the garage all the time while on the trailer. I am going to lift the bow with a hoist once the stern is on stands. I have just been unsure where to place the stands.
