Cradle is Finished!

So the cradle is done!  Now i just need to order my hull materials and i can start building an actual boat.

Beer to keep myself and others hydrated.

We used two laser levels to get the cradle aligned.  One was down the center mark and we used a self leveling rotating level that gave us a mark about 4 inches over the entire cradle to measure down from to get the correct height and level.

As you can see i used 1/2 inch bolts o bolt each support piece to the cradle base.  Also the 3/4 ply supports are drilled out larger than the bolts.  This allows me to make small adjustments if i ever need to.

Done!

Hours: about 65
