water activated fiberglass casting material? Is that something from the medical industry (bet that's not cheap unless it's a job related subsidy).
You can easily mold cradles directly to you hull by turning the boat over, covering with plastic sheeting (to protect the hull), laying on carpet, then laying on fiberglass and resin. If you want to get really fancy, you can form up some clay or similar to support the carpet to form a lip shape around the edges.

yeah, I like that- job related subsidy <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
probably not cheap I guess (I just checked, 3x15 roll 150$ or so. the problem is that it has medical written on it somewhere. remove that word and the price drops by half I am sure)
Makes me wonder though about some type of mesh that can be used for the same purpose- but much much thicker than the standard glass cloth. I wonder how many layers of glass you could put together and wet out in one "pour"
The benefit of the standard beach wheels is that their cradles are very big and therefore don't pinch the hulls if you don't put them under the hulls directly straight. If the molded cradles aren't made somewhat wider and flared then you easily dent the skin (on lighter boats) just putting the wheels under. The HT cradles that came with the boat were brutal in the regard.
