Hopefully someone here may have the docking/graving plans for your 38'. If that isn't the case, I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you. Aluminum boats are pretty forgiving when it comes to lifting so long as you take a few precautions.
First, I would make certain that you lighten the vessel as much as possible (i.e. tankage, spare parts, frozen fish sticks, etc.)
Next, I would focus on placing the straps on the bulkheads as much as possible (particularly on either side of the engine room).
We regularly lift our 145' Aluminum boat in a travel lift where it isn't always possible to adhear to the docking plan.
Good luck.
