Because the new speed drain fittings run down the right side channel the pvc bunk on the right side will have shift. I am shifting mine to the right completly out of the channel.

We haven't changed the cradle for the TI - only the AI required new cradles. You can position the boat to where it doesn't rest on the speed drain - the cradles are 67" apart and don't sit directly on the location of the drains. But we could look at the cradle shape and update it so it's more flatten in the right side hump to better let the user slide their boat onto their trailer. This would be a running change to the mold and not something that would change overnight - we do have inventory of cradles in stock.

New item... Trailer Cradles 2015 Adventure Island

72020406 CRADLE SET - ADV ISLD '15 TRAILER $227.00 List

These have not started shipping, my understanding is they will be available in the near future - we only just started shipping new AI's this month so we're a little behind target. Thanks.

Does this mean that the 2015 TI can't be slid on pvc bunks located at the scupper hole grooves without damage to the drains ? Can some part or all of the drain mechanism be removed so this isn't a problem ?
I have built a trailer that I am about to assemble based on the PVC pipe (1.5") bunk method of support. My bunks can be adjusted laterally but I was expecting them to rest in the grooves on the bottom of the hull.

What does this mean for the cradles ? I purchased a set of cradles to build a custom dolly. Is there going to be a problem rolling the dolly under the boat because of the drains ?

Thank You

Chris

The scupper groove on the right is unobstructed. I moved the pvc on the left, further left running just outside of the scupper groove.
