8,000 lb. Aluminum V-Hull Inboard Boat Cradle

The 8,000 lb. Aluminum V-Hull Inboard Boat Cradle is designed for V-hull boats with inboard motors and supports up to 8,000 pounds. It’s constructed from marine-grade 6061-T6 U.S. aluminum and features a weld-free design for maximum strength and corrosion resistance. Customers can choose between aluminum bunks, or a setup designed for wood bunks. All fasteners used in the cradle are stainless steel to ensure long-term durability in marine environments.

The Aluminum Cradle Beam measures 6 inches by 12.5 feet and features an extruded aluminum I-beam design with built-in sheave housings to accommodate 4-inch aluminum sheaves. Its weld-free construction adds to the overall strength and reliability, making it a solid support structure for your boat.

For those using wooden bunks, the Wood Cradle Bunk Mounting Kit offers an easy solution for attaching two wood bunks to the aluminum cradle beam. This kit is engineered for both convenience and long-lasting performance, helping to keep your boat safe and secure during storage.

The Aluminum Cradle Bunk features a universal design and comes pre-equipped with a durable rubber bunk pad. This pad adds an extra layer of protection for your boat’s hull, reducing wear and potential damage during docking or lifting.

To simplify installation and enhance support, both the Aluminum Cradle Bunk Mounting Kit and the Aluminum Guidepost Stanchion Kit are included. These kits are made from high-strength aluminum and come with stainless steel fasteners for added durability in marine environments.

The Boat Cradle Guideposts are made of tough PVC and assist with docking while providing additional stability and support. Each post includes a top cap with a built-in drainage hole to allow water to flow out and prevent accumulation.

To further protect your boat, the system includes 36-inch Solid Guidepost Bumpers. These bumpers are made of rugged nylon with a foam insert that cushions impact, protects the boat, and improves visibility around the cradle area.

All boat cradles, cradle beams, and boat lifts are shipped via freight. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to be present at the time of delivery and to unload the freight from the delivery truck. For more information, please refer to our shipping terms and conditions.

Important: Drilling into the aluminum structural beam will compromise its integrity and is strongly discouraged.
