    Default Dolly for tinnie

    Got my son a 12' tinnie to keep at the caravan down the coast.
    This is the dolly I am making so he can wheel the boat from the van to the launch ramp.

    Still got the clean up and cold gal to do.

    good idea having a third wheel up front, should make your son's life easier.

    Nice one Dave.

    Just thinking out aloud, if you attach the centre bar underneath the rear cross rail, you'll lower the whole shooting match and make the boat easier to load. As long as the top of the rear roller is proud of the rear rail it wont hit it. And if you sit the rear cross rail in front of the roller, the roller will be the first thing the bow will touch.
    Too many projects, so little time, even less money!

    There are a few tree roots on the short cut path to the ramp.
    Would probably hit them if I went lower.
    Suppose I could take the chain saw
