Per DSK:
Considering that the technology exists to make a dinghy you
could pick up in one hand, why fart around with wheels &
lifting brackets & tackles and all the rest?

Walking a half mile carrying something 10 feet long that weighs, say, 30 pounds
gets old after a few trips - especially when there's a wind blowing. It's also
really nice to be able to stack other stuff on the dollied boat.

True enough, and it will be bulky & awkward no matter the
weight. However, 30 pounds will be better than 75 pounds
(and that would be remarkably light for a conventional
dinghy) no matter what sort of wheels etc etc you fit it out
with.

That's a good point. Make fewer trips that way.
