The portage of a 50 or 75 pound dinghy can be moved about on land single-handedly. For years I’ve been flipping our two prams upside down and “backpacking” them to the waters edge. In hauling one resembles a two legged beetle or turtle, the process can be both awkward, and, tiring. Working smarter doesn’t always come easily. However, we’ve succeeded in cobbling together a couple of 2×4’s for a frame, drilled an aluminum rod for an axel, commandeered a pair of plastic wheels, slung some stiff webbing for support, using stainless screws and voila! we have a light flexible small boat dolly.

The forward keel support toggles to adjust for hull variations in our different boats. An oak pull handle offers a good grip andcleat for bow painters.

The dolly is light and easily hung on a wall. Now maybe our little fleet will get wet more often. And, no more 2 legged cockroaches!

Fini!
Outstanding job E man’!
We’re did you finally pick up the line “smarter not harder”? I thought u were a marine at heart?
Great job.

What can I say? Probably should stick with nothing.
Nicely done. The several I’ve built all lacked the rounded corners and beveled fits. They all did roll the 150 yards to the river. Richard in Florence Oregon
It’s a very smart looking set up for transporting your dinghies!
