Hello: I was just thinking about the wheel set up for the ponton/kick boat transport. It will be easy to buy new/used "GOLF BAG" wheel cart, they are made from light aluminum or steel frame, bigger wheels diaameter will be better, some sort of strapping device will help to keep the whole thing together. Let me know if this could work.

Me too.
I talked to the marketing guy at Buck's Bags a couple years ago who
sent me a brochure on a two-wheeled cart they were discontinuing.
After looking at it I could see why.
From the side, it was shaped like a pair of connected metal L's
rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The long leg of the L fit under the
frame with a handle at the back end and a couple of smallish 8-9 inch
wheels at the end of the short legs.
He said the small wheels didn't take to well to rocky or rough ground
and that they were developing a new design.
I saw a different cart at the Sportsmen's Show last February with a
larger single wheel that locked into a attached slot under the seat
and let you steer the pontoon boat from the ends like a wheelbarrow.
The guy said that Cabela's would be stocking them but I have yet to
see one there.
Seems to me I saw a similar design at Kaufman's in Bellevue a while
back but don't recall how much it was.
Anybody tried a single-wheel design cart? And more importantly, what
do you do with the thing once you launch the boat? Mine's heavy
enough as it is without taking a cart aboard.
