Re: Launch Wheels
I’m not sure about making some - that strikes me as a bit of a PITA.
I bought some from eBay and fitted them to my Zodiac. Check out the thread here:

Hope this helps.

The model Honwave NX-300/0 AL is not one that I've ever seen before
The AL part would suggest it's an aluminium floor variant which Honwaves are 3.5 or 4m in length
Where are you gaining this data from

Re: Launch Wheels
Thanks for the replies lads they are much appreciated .
I have No problem buying the Honwave ones but have read and seen the opinions of owners that they are Not that good so was looking to make some .
I took the Model number from the Booklet I got with the boat . I haven't had chance to get it all out the bag yet but wanted to get everything I need before the wife sees it all .

You'll need the bushes to fit the wheel to your sized spindle https://www.trailertek.com/search/?q=bushes
If in doubt call them
Finally got around to ordering a pair of these as the tubed tyres on my Honwave wheels developed a faulty valve connection and went flat, so thought it would be easier to swap for these. Turned out it wasn't as easy as that once they'd been delivered - the spindle is a different diameter (c.25mm v c.21mm) and they now tell me they can't supply any suitable bushes for these so I need to try to source some elsewhere. Also, it will need to be a flanged bush or else I'll also need to source an additional space as the wheel rubber rims foul on the dog-legs on the Honwave shafts if butted up against the existing stops.
Since I hate re-inventing the wheel (!) I wondered if anyone else had already gone through the same process and could help me find the needed parts to make these wheels usable?
I also ordered a replacement tube from TrailerTek at the same time but am still waiting for this item to be shipped, so am without any usable wheels at all at the moment.
cheers

Re: Launch Wheels
I'm using some Hobie Trax 2-30 kayak wheels on my True Kit Discovery. The big, soft wheels are absolutely fantastic on the sand. The boat is really easy to pull along. The vertical tubes on the wheel set slide into some 1 inch pipe straps on the transom. Obviously, the wheels can't be removed in the water, but I just get the boat close and lift it off the wheels before launching.

Re: Launch Wheels
Wow. That’s a really good looking solution for soft ground.
