2015 AI Cradles

Hi Matt, any chance of posting a pic of the new Adventure Island cradles? I've been moding my trailer to what I think they will look like and still need to drill a few more holes in the new longer cross bars, depending on the outcome of the front cradle size, so it's about as far as I can go for now. Also what material will they be made from? The V1 cradles in fibreglass were brilliant, you couldn't kill them with a stick.

Thanks mate, Bob.

I spoke to Morgan recently and they didn't have a set for the 2015 to provide me with dimensions... I was asking for the same reason as you. I'd taken it on risk and assumed that they will be similar to the current version.

We barely have a pre-production boat... now they can begin to finalize the accessories. The will be molding the cradles on the hull, so none yet.

Thanks Matt, I thought the hulls were squared away. No matter.

Cheers, Bob.

They have to mold the cradle shape off of a production hull, so that comes after they finalize the boat. Plastic shrinks 4% out of the mold, so the final shape can vary a bit.

Matt,
Will a new hobie dolly be made for the 2015+ AI or will the original work? I am waiting in my new ai now and haven't figured out how I'm gonna get it across the beach yet. Also. I would like to see side handles on my new yak fwiw

New cradle shape = new dolly or replacement cradle if possible.

Hi Matt, (you must be getting very sick of me asking this, sorry) any chance of a pic and dimentions of the new 2015 AI cradles?

Thanks mate, Bob.

I have not seen cradles yet.

Dimensions for trailers would be the same as before... separation of crossbars is still 67".

Actually I was after the dimentions (or the lenght of the front cradle) sorry should have been more specific. As they're not done yet I can only assume that the front cradle will be as long as the rear cradle allowing supports for the amas, being that they're longer and will need ro be supported by the front cradle.

Thanks anyway Matt, cheers, Bob.

Matt - do you know when AI cradles will be available now that boats are shipping?
thanks!

Checking...
