Gary, my front crossbars are welded to the frame and also have a small diagional bracing piece welded in, so they would be a bit of trouble to move. Good idea for bolted together trailers though.
I went ahead and order these:

Just forward of the current cradles there is a little extra room on the sides, just aft of the current cradles they are a bit tight on the sides, so I expect a darn near perfect fit when I get them mounted. The current cradles are roughly 18" forward of the front beam when the boat is in its proper position on the trailer.
Another problem with the current cradles is that they are built with "pockets" in the center. Although they were supposedly sealed when made, they now leak and collect water. Not good in a climate with freezing temps. Also, the carpet sags over the pocket so you end up with a little support strip just foward and aft of each pocket. This design seems to be common to a lot of cradles.
The new cradles don't have these pockets so they can't collect water or sag in the middle. I'll post again when they are mounted and maybe provide a picture.
