Here are some pictures of the cradle that I built. The fore/aft I-beams supports the hulls from just in front of the keels to the forward end of the hull's flat section. I glued on a heavy rubber mat material for cushioning. Be careful to not sit the boat on the thru hull transducer, if you have one. Ours is just forward of the flat section. The ladder works well except for climbing over the railing. I would have gone to a gate if our dock was longer. The boat will swing in windy conditions. I regularly wrap a ratchet strap around the cables and 2x10's to prevent any movement. For tropical weather, I use chain with load binders between the pilings and the cradle.
