I made a pontoon cart out of PVC tubing and a BMX wheel and fork that works great except that it doesn't break down very small. I don't have any pictures in my files at the present but I sent some to others on the list. I don't know if they made any like it or not. If there is any interest I can send some photos as attach--..
