My dad has a canoe being stored at his house that he uses time to time and decided that he didn't like carrying it from 1 place to another. After a little design work and a little time in his wood shop, he came up with a way to temporarily add wheels to his canoe to make for easier portages and to make those far off put-ins a little more accessible. You can buy these things for anywhere between $50 to $200 or you can make your own. I'm sure dad didn't spend more than about $20 on this. Tools...

The rigid wheels may not be as good in soft sand as some of the wide inflatable wheels, but their 14” diameter makes it easy to run over the rough terrain I built it for. For about $50, I had a cart that is the equal of any of the expensive commercial ones and much sturdier than the various do-it-yourself PVC-pipe ones I’ve seen.

Anyone who has moved a loaded kayak more than a few feet will appreciate this kayak cart. Not only is it easy to build, but it also fits folded in your forward hatch. Just pull the cotter pins to remove the wheels, fold the support bars, and stuff it down the hatch. Carts are also great for ferry travel. Roll your load
