Was interesting to view, even though I don't have a Klepper.  Beware of
these particular golf-cart wheels - they are not made for heavy loads and
foam tires might come off the rim.  I had to stop and put them on every
50-60 yards, carrying lighter boat bags but with a Balogh sail-rig and
camping gear.  I think total weight was about 90-100 lbs (40-45 kg).
Especially after those bumps where ferry ramp joints the pier, or after any
rocky or bumpy surface.  Ferry crew was very patient, even though I deprived
them of some profit, not taking my car on board :-).  May be tires come off
the rim because they are old, and new tires sit more tight under heavy loads
for some time.  It never happened when I rolled 56 lbs hardshell kayak on
concrete surface.
