Kit for a trailer tongue wheel ?

[mick hodapp]

Good morning folks, does anyone know of a kit to install a rim & tire that would attach to my trailer tongue on a axle so the trailer could be rolled into the water from the beach ? it would be to launch & retrieve my 500 lb rib jet boat, Any jnfo or input would be greatly appreciated !

What type of beach - Sand or gravel and rocks? The trailer tires and the 3rd tire may sink into sand if they aren't flotation type tires and gravel can be hard to push or pull through.

Something like these may work for you;

You might be underestimating how hard the trailer would be to push... My sailboat is 400lb's give or take, and my beach is relatively soft sand. There isn't a chance I"m going to push that by hand to the water. If it had big balloon tires from an ATV on it, maybe, but it has little 18.5x8.5-8's on it. I'm absolutely not going to pull it out either, I have a 4x4 UTV that will spin a little if the trailer sinks in.

Something like this, it bolts onto the tongue, slides on and off.
Would be nice if it swiveled though.
