Can’t wait to see it in action. You might find those wheels too narrow to recover from sand. I had to get some balloon beach wheels (the cheap copies are fine) to recover my boat (not much heavier) from the sand or the wheels just dug in and turned my dolly into a sand anchor!
@@TheBoatRambler they will be fine on the hard (actually better than balloon wheels there) but keep in mind they may actually be a hinderance on sand. Only one way to find out!
Nice and simple. But problem I have found with something similar I made is when you hit a bump or pothole then the trolley slides backward and the boat continues forward. If you use rubber rather than carpet it holds better, but is not as easy to slide on. When getting the boat off the cartop, I will be interested to see how you protect the hull from bitumen / concrete roads and such. I am still searching for a good solution to this.
Hi, I will have to come up with something. If I cartop it from the side of the car that shouldn't be a problem. The biggest problem will be when turning it upside-down if cartopping from the back of the car. Don't know what I'll do yet...
@@TheBoatRambler I was wondering about this for my Goose. The plan I came up with (but have not implemented) was to either use sacrificial wooden blocks (of the hardest wood I could find) on each corner, or, less pretty, getting some blocks of conveyor belt material and screwing that to the corners. I suppose you could screw thin blocks/strips of any polycarbonate you can find and that would work as well?

Hi Rob,
I wonder about that too but for now thit is what I have. Might change wheels if I get into too much trouble at the beach.

Might you have to make another boat for your dad ? It seems like you've grown attached to this one !
I didn't make the boat for my dad, I made a boat that my dad can sail if he wants to... 😁
