Appreciate the input. John

I found these. Google: Taylor dock wheels
18" for 2" axle.
Haven't ordered yet, but they look hopeful. Just looking to contribute.

One could order the replacement wheel and rig their own axle, or order with the dock mount and modify. I'll probably go for just the wheels and noodle something together. It's october 21st and I think last sunday was the last day I'll trick my girlfriend into going out, new O'neil booties or not. And that leaves me plenty of cold nights to smoke cigarettes and think/design/order/construct etc.
I just finished my mast step winch setup (electric, saves my energy) and am looking for a new pile of parts to angrily shake my fist at, kick, think about in bed, develop new ideas for, and noodle with. I need a new design to obsess over on my commute and while I lie in bed. Or when my girlfriend is telling me about how the one girl at work.....something something. What's that babe? Sorry, I was envisioning homemade cradles. No, for the boat. What were you saying?

Wish I could find a beach wench to haul my boat up the beach.....but if she was strong enough to do that, she could probably kick my butt!

Just a bump to see what the latest on Cat-Trax technology is these days....

One of my Cat-Trax tires went permanently T.U. on me here on the beach in Puerto Penasco..... Even Slime didn't work on it =(

Happy Cinco everybody!

You'd be better off getting a beach wench, she could go T.U. on you at the beach and at night too! LOOOOL!

Where is a good place to perhaps find a used set of Cat Trax?

I was thinking about making myself a set os these immitation Cat Trax and was thinking about using aircraft wheels, does anyone have any opinion?

I'm thinking dock wheels and conduit. Price at Fleet Farm is under $35 each and 1 -1/2" conduit isn't expensive. Maybe $100 all in?
I build one years ago using a single 30 gallon plastic barrel as a roller under the middle of the boat. Worked OK. I bolted on wooden ends for the conduit to ride on.
