rubber ones are very cheap, nice poly one's aren't that much more - get new and hardware axles too) Nothing easier than pushing a 400+ lbs boat off a trailer (or back on) than 4 (newish) rollers. (I did drag my wife down the hallway of a Ritz Carlton once, but um I digress.)Īs most things on boats - everything has pros and cons Doesn't sound like it would be too bad but then I've never tried to drag 380 pounds down the beach before. So will I need wheels to slide this boat from waters edge to the water or am I worrying about nothing? Info I can find online states the boat itself only weighs 380 pounds. I am a good sized guy at 6'3' and 240lbs. try to launch various types of watercraft in the surf only to get stuck in a foot and a half of salt water with their 50k vehicle! So my thought is to drop the boat at water's edge (very hard packed sand) and slide into the surf from there. The beach is fairly flat so actually launching from the trailer would be hazardous to the vehicle as I have seen many a truck, jeep etc. In Texas its legal to drive on the beach so I can literally pull the boat on its trailer down by the water's edge. Ok so I will have my Prindle 18 this summer at a Texas Beach.
