I have a trailer that I want to add AI cradles to. Do they bolt up from the bottom? Any pictures would be helpful.

Also, any idea who has them the cheapest.

The AI cradles are a standard Hobie accessory and are available from your dealer. They come with all necessary hardware to bolt onto the trailer. If you have a different trailer - as I do - you simply modify accordingly - no big deal.
The bolts go from top to bottom - thereby avoiding any chance of excess (bolt) length contacting the hull.
Sorry I have no photos readily available. Some folk have made their own cradles - I thought about doing that but opted for expedience and convenience etc. Kinda felt like I would be reinventing the wheel. :roll:

Since the Trailex trailers we sell have hardware for mounting cradles included... we did not add fasteners to the new TI cradle set. The AI cradle still calls for hardware, but we may remove them now since we only sell Trailex.
