Simply mount a plywood "platform" on top
of a folding golf caddy (costs about US$40
in these parts of the world - first delete all
the golf bag and score card fittings).

If the boat has a rounded, or a V-, bottom it needs side 
supports, but the Klepper kayak keel board is flat,  a flat support
is the best! 

Don't forget to grease the wheel's ball bearings
as they are the open type and not very stainless :-(!

Test-loaded it with my wife on top - no problems!
When folded it takes very little space, and the wheels 
detatch, if you want. 

Ideal for moving the Klepper bags, too!
