Trailer or cradle for sale??

[joe]

Does anyone have a trailer or cradle for an Ariel for sale?  Preferably somewhere east of a line from Dallas to Chicago.

I can't seem to figure out where the plans for building an Ariel cradle.  Can anyone get me pointed in the right direction??

Hey Joe,
Use the search function or try this thread: http://pearsonariel.org/discussion/showthread.php?t=304&highlight=trailer.  A couple nice photos of a home-made version and links to new ones and lots of thoughts on the subject.  I don't see in there where Tony G ever posted his actual plans to the forum.

Plans for a cradle are in the appendix to the manual - you may be able to guesstimate your measurements from there.

I am a social worker for a living, so such guesstimation is probably not my strong point.

The only problem is I don't have a manual because I'm not getting the boat for another two weeks or so.  I wonder if anyone might let me rent their Ariel cradle or trailer for a week or week and a half??  or maybe fax to me a copy of the plans??

I found a guy who has a P-26 trailer, If I'm not mistaken, the draft is actually about the same.  I wonder just how close it is and how difficult it may be to alter.  It has heavy weight axles and electric brakes.  I would appreciate any input on this that any of you might have???
