Default Wheels for a canoe

Just wondering if anyone has tried or would know where to begin
searching for a way to permanently place wheels on a canoe to make it
easier to transport. I know they make canoe carriers with wheels but
having them permantly attached would be much easier for many reasons.
I have an Old Town Discovery 174 that weighs 82lbs. It's impossible to
get onto my roof rack alone. Having wheels attached to one of the ends
of the canoe on the top would allow me to flip it over, pick up the
other end and roll it. I don't know much about the construction except
that it uses a material called Superlink 3 I think. If you might be
able to give me an idea I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I am just reaching that age when the hitch and lift of canoe transport
is too much. I purchased a used golf cart (sans bag) and adapted it and
bunjie cords to make a quick on or off roll around, and when needed, the
cart folds compactly enough to toss in the stern (if someone is sitting
there, leave the cart and let them carry the O.T.
