I saw the message below. In fact, I'm looking to find a 'dolly' ... is that the right name? Where I can mount my whitewater kayak and pull it behind my car. Any directions as to where I can buy one of these animals is appreciated.

If you want to tow it with a car, you need a trailer, which is a much more significant undertaking. For a WW boat, one of the utility trailers they sell at Home Depot should work fine. But why don't you just stick it on the roof like everyone else, especially a 40# 8-10 foot long WW boat? Do you drive a convertible? If so, cool.

Shop around, and don't forget the want ads. I haul my sea kayak on a Sears utility trailer dating from around 1972. The tongue was way too short to haul the boat, but a visit to a local welding shop cured that. The boat rides on bunks that I built from 2x4s and carpeting. The real benefit to a trailer is that you leave the boat loaded all the time, thus cutting out a full load/unload cycle when going out for a quick trip. Plus, the kayak is a lot lower on the trailer, so you don't have to be working overhead. The downside is finding a place to park at a convienience store or restaurant for the after-paddling cold one. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
