Just purchased a 1985 C&C 27 mark v. She was shipped on the original factory cradle which is pressure treated wood. I want to have a steel cradle built and would appreciate measurements for length, width and uprights for this model.
Thanks,
John Willson
I can't help you directly but I do have some unsolicited (read: useless) advice.
You don't say where you are, but if you're in Ontario, consider going to Marine Cradle Shop. They do a very solid cradle that gives you good access to the bottom of your boat. Their cradles are well thought out in terms of folding really flat while being more than normally resistant to damage in the off-season. Cradles built by non-specialists don't come close. http://www.yachtsales.com/trailers/mcs/cradles.html
The only thing they do that I don't understand is to put carpet on the pads - why put something that holds water next to the hull when it's better to have it dry out over the winter? I use hard rubber.
Failing a purchase from Marine Cradle Shop (who probably have your plans in stock) can you not take the offsets off your existing cradle?
