Post subject: | EuroTrax Cradle for Getaway |
Saw a good deal on the EuroTrax (cat-trax) from playboule but the cradle options didn't specify the Hobie Getaway model. Most other models seem to be supported (at least the non-rotomolded models). I emailed the company, but they didn't have a clue - however they offered a solution of making a cardboard template so they could match it up, or suggested I contact someone from Hobie about similiarites in Hull design between the more 'popular' models that are supported. Before I go to the effort to find the balance point of the boat and cut out a cardboard template, I thought maybe someone on this forum could provide useful insight. TIA, Chuck |

The generic cradle for many cats (H18, H21) should work. You do not want a custom fit. |

I have a dollie for my inflatable Boat that looks like that manufacture. I'd like to convert it to fit my Wave do you have their e mail address? |

I just ordered a set for my H16. I just told them what kind of boat and they said they would find the right cradle.i was told they will ship tomorrow. |

Post subject: | Playboule contact |
[email protected] Or just visit the site - it is well done and there may be better contact info, pretty good FAQ's etc. |

The Playaboule site still doesn't specify which cradle to use for the Getaway. I'm too impatient to send them a cutout, so I took a different approach: I blew up their image of the V-shaped cradle and printed it to make my own template! This seemed to fit my Getaway's hull pretty well near the exptected balance point--i.e. the middle--so I went ahead and took the plunge and placed an order. I figured at worst I'd have to send the cradles back and exchange them for the "generic" shape. But the good news is, it worked! I've used the dolly a couple of times now and I think the V-shaped cradles are a good fit for the Getaway. So now we know. I sent Playaboule an e-mail about this, so maybe in the future the Getaway will show up on their list. Check out my web page to see how I rigged up my trailer to carry the beach dolly. Cheers, Steve |

Follow up... I passed my recommendation to Playaboule and their site now specifies the V-shaped cradle for the Getaway. They thanked me for the info by sending me a free adapter to fill the dolly's tires with water to keep them from floating. Nice folks! (And still the best price I've seen for the EuroTrax) Cheers, Steve |

Agreed. I bought the asymetrical cradles for my H-16 and really wish I had gone with the standard unifit cradles. That said, the Eurotrax are great wheels. |
