The dolly I made to move my little Cricket to the water |
The dolly is a work in progress. Some parts are ok some have failed. The wheels are from Canadian Tire and are used on wharehouse dollies. They were not expensive, about 12 dollars each for a nice inner tube wheel with ball bearings. I bought a threaded rod to fit in the axle and used aluminium tubing for the cross piece and long piece. I made little delrin plugs (I had a big chunk). The metal tubing is attached to a 2x4 frame. The pulling handle is pvc and broke almost immediately. I now put the boat on the trailer balanced at the wheels and actually pull or push the boat. The trailer just acts as wheels under the middle of the boat. I'm still working on it. |
