Thanks.... I'll call AustinKayak.
Just to make sure: those cradles are exactly the same as what is used on the Hobie beach dolly, right?
When I slide my existing pre-2015 rear cradle up to the balance point - where I would have it when rolling the boat up/down the beach- it does not quite fit the hull's contours; whereas it fits precisely back at the recommended location for storage on trailer.
OOPS!.... Now that I am reading the catalog entries more carefully, I see that, in some places, there is no such thing as an Adventure Island beach dolly - only Tandem Island - but in other places, the dolly is referred to as "
Kayak Dolly/AI/TI Beach Wheels".
I come away from looking at some of the pix thinking that the cradles used on "
Kayak Dolly AI/TI...." are shaped quite differently from the "Hobie Adventure Island Cradles" in that the ama supports are much lower on the AI-specific cradle.
Am I about to shoot myself in the foot over this?..... i.e. What cradle would give the best approximation of a fit at the 2015 AI hull's balance point (which is shaped differently from where the hull rests on the trailer/cradle....)..... i.e. is there a dolly-specific cradle or does Hobie just use one of the 2016+ Tandem Island cradles?
Hopefully I am over-thinking this and the short times on the dolly will allow for just about anything to work without harming the hull.
