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!

Don't have my cart's photos on website, so here is the idea (cart on the blue backgorund near the bottom of the page): http://www.stripersonline.com/ubb547/Forum6/HTML/001359.html : My cart has 3 parts: 2 supports made of aluminum tubes 1"OD welded at right angle in shape of "T", and 1' * 1/2" stainless rod that goes through the holes drilled at the bottom of these T's. Plus, of course, golf cart wheels, straps and vinyl tubes over aluminum tubes (royalties please to Alex Fergusson in NZ). Most golf cart wheels have axle holes *close* to 1/2", so make sure it fits your stainless rod before ravaging some $20 used or $40 new golf cart :-). Folds into pretty compact parts. Next page on this wesite, btw, shows some neat carts with "baloon" Roleez wheels and frame made of a dozen or so plumbers PVC joints. Too many parts, I think. > http://www.geocities.com/gwchitty/kayakpics/carts.jpg > http://www.geocities.com/gwchitty/kayakpics/boatbuilding/01complete_gear.jpg *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
