I bought a used Seitech dolly. It is a Configuration 5, which I know is the correct one for the Capri.
I put my Capri on it this past weekend, and the tops of the upright stanchions were too narrow and dimpling the hull. This could be from incorrect dimensions in a few places (refer to the diagram below from: http://www.ahoycaptain.com/shop/media/seitech/c5diagram.jpg):
If you have a Seitech dolly, could you please post the dimensions for T1B, T1C, T1D, T1E, and S1 (the strap) so I can order replacement parts to make mine fit my Capri?
At this point, I'm probably planning to replace T1E with 18" ones, which will gain me about 4" additional width between the tops of the stanchions, which should be enough. (And will require a longer strap.)
Thanks for any help you can give.

- The Axle Tube (T1D) could be too narrow. (But I think this is the 60" version - which I think is the widest.)
- The Side Stanchions (T1E) could be too short. (Mine are 12", and I could replace them with 18")
- The Forward Centerline Tubes (T1B and T1C) could be too short and so the stanchions could be too far forward and on a wider point on the hull than they should be. (But moving the boat too far forward will affect the balance and make it harder to lift the handles.)
