[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 468059, member: 24593"] I'm going to put re tractable wheels on mine. I have 2 $4 wheels from Harbor that I'm going to use. Going to Home Depot and getting two 3 ft. pcs of aluminum angle iron for the supports. Mounting them on the stern with the vertical flat sides facing each other 1 and 1/2 inches apart. I have some scrap one inch bimini top aluminum that I will make the wheel holders. I'l put a hole in each side about midway and use it for a pivot point with two more holes top and bottom for pins to hold the tubing in place. That way, I can have the wheels down to launch and up while underway. You can use 2x2 wood for your supports too, just make the angle iron a bit wider. Using scrap materials I have on hand, this whole project won't cost more than $20. [/QUOTE]
