Dear John, That caused me some confusion! I used to hear the term "launching dollys" a lot. The bevy of delightful young girls who would come & take away the boat trolley (sometimes even crew!). Another generation.
The important point is to make sure that the cradle fits the hull and that it is in the right place so that th eboat is almost balanced. One of the old trolleys I have has a thin wood cradle (possible steamed to fit), then epoxy resined with a couple of ropes added into epoxy as reinforcing.
Luck,
Colin
