F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

Is anyone using a launching trolly instead of launching wheels?

@harrison used to use one with his Honwave because he dislikes the launch wheels.
I have one but I have only used it a few times - I tend to use the launch wheels.

Thanks Chris I'm just thinking that if you get the supports directly in the middle there will be no weight to lift ? not like launching wheels?
On my Honwave 35AE with 25L tank and Yam 4s 20HP it was very heavy even with the launching wheels under the back of the boat.

As @ChrisParish mentions, we’re big launching trolley fans. Probably because we used to keep our sibs on them and pull through the dunes, fully loaded, onto the beach.

Only really practical for daily boat assembly launch if you’ve room in the vehicle for one, somewhere to leave it while you’re out, and not planning pulling boat out of the water for a lunchtime stop etc.

Sadly transom wheels are the most practical solution for most on a daily set up.

Lots of towing options for a trolley though.
