U-22 Storage Cradle

Post by Edgewaterservices » Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:54 am

Hello all, I'm new to this group, as I very recently purchased a 1947 cedar-sided U-22. The boat is a true barn-find, very original but unused in over 30 years. It's currently blocked up with no storage cradle. I'm planning to eventually have a trailer made for the boat, but in the meantime I need to come up with a storage cradle/dolly for use as I restore/refinish her. I would like to have it on castors of some sort so I can roll it around the shop. I do not expect, at this point, to flip this boat over to do the bottom.

Does anyone have any drawings/dimensions for such a storage cradle? Any other ideas or suggestions would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

MAH

I have prints for the 1969 model year. This was obtained from the Mariners Museum.
If you were to order The title is "Cradle Dimensions"

Thanks for your reply....I presume that the 1969 date is a typo and you meant 1949....does anyone know if these drawings are available now or do I have to wait for the Mariners Museum Chris Craft archive to reopen? Thanks
