Per sandy:
We're going to be heading down to Baja in a couple months and plan to bring our 10' inflatable boat along. It weights somewhere around 100 lbs and I'm planning on launching it over the beach. My problem is that hubby had a stroke a few years ago and I'll have to do it myself. I'm hoping to add some wheels to the transom to make launching easier. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions or web sites w/plans??? I already bought 2 10" (inflatable) tires from harbor freight. Thanks! Any idea how the surface will be down here? Hard wheels sink into soft sand - making them extremely difficult to manage. Take a look at the various big/soft tire solutions at http://www.roleezonline.com. The PWC dolly has the square feet, but the one I use is a 20+ year-old version of the RZ-CKT Canoe Kayak Tote. On it, I carry a 30-lb surf kayak, medium-sized picnic cooler full of food/drink for 3-4 people, a beach chair, and various odds-and-ends over extremely soft New Jersey beach sand. It just floats over the bumps/valleys If you can fit the boat on something like this, I'd think it would be preferable because it folds up into a reasonably compact size. -- PeteCresswell |
