Default Wheels for a canoe

The wheels would have to sit high when you are on the water & would raise
the center of gravity. Stability would be affected & you'd still find it
awkward to load.


Actually, Lloyd, I've thought of this before too. Why not have a little
recessed wheel well in the stern end (you could use one of those little,
sealed bearing poly wheels like those that are on expensive luggage), up by
the endplate? It would be used when the boat was inverted. It wouldn't be so
useful on rocky paths or portages, but it sure would come in hand dragging
your boat around your driveway or loading it on your truck.
