Looking for beach hand trailer

[seaweb11]

I am looking for some sort of rig to roll my 9ft fiberglass dinghy c/w motor on it down to the water.<br /><br />I have seen the bracket widget with the two plastic wheels (can't use it with engine on)<br /><br />I have also tried the screw in fold up plastic wheels (wheels to small, boat to heavy)<br /><br />I've read all the posts here, and done some Googling with no success.<br />Any one ever seen something rigged up with bigger rubber wheels?<br /><br />A web site to look at?<br />Photos?<br />Plans?<br /><br />Thanks every one.

It would seem fairly easy to either build or have built two axles that could mount on the transom and swing down to move the boat and swing up when boating. If done right you could put large tires on them that would roll on the sand.

"It would seem fairly easy "<br /><br />Yes I believe it would.<br />Just didn't want to have to re-invent the thing if someone knew of something they had seen done before.

That's a lightweight rig, but you'll still need wide tires to go over the beach.<br /><br />Think PVC pipe to build a cradle for the boat, then use a couple of big, fat tires, like the kind used on either those big garden wagons or, even better, an ATV. If you have the time, you should be able to find some nice fat wheels and tires somewhere, for not too much money.<br /><br />I'd skip the whole transom-mounted wheel business. Those things are always a PITA once you're on the water.

Considered a kayak dolly/cart? <br /><br />I found this in a google search<br /><br /> http://www.castlecraft.com/boat_dolly.htm <br /><br />Do a google search on small boat cart.
