Read somewhere 90% of boat weight should be on the keel. That leaves 10% on the stands, My boat weights 12000# so with 6 stands, they are to hold 1200# or 200# each. I place the stands under ribs and bulkheads, so their is no flex or oil canning. I follow the technique explained by Brunel on their website: http://www.boatstands.com/ Hopefully your cradle considered bulkhead locations. If not, use bigger pads. FYI, I prefer portable stands and set one side snug w the pads one hand down from the waterline. I place a square piece of carpet between the pad and the hull. Then I place the other side stands a little lower, put the chains on as snug as I can, then pull the low side stands out until the chain is very tight, and run the pads up tight against the hull so they are also one hand down from the waterline. When I paint the bottom, I move the stands one pair at a time, scrub and paint, move em back and launch with the whole hull painted, no touch up needed, except the very bottom of the keel where it sat on blocks.

Hi I have tested my new cradle on our railway with great success. I will shift the keel stop a bit aft and narrow the keel guides. The question from the sage wise peanut gallery was how much of the boat weight can rest on keel?
