I need to move my sun dolphin 10.2 boat 100 yards from house to lake. Can't drive it to lake. What dolly or trailer does anyone reco to pull by hand?

I put mine on a big tarp and pulled it quite a long way down a steep slope to my lake. 2 of us pulled and kinda steered. It all worked very easily, good luck. No seats, no battery keep it empty and light.

You can make a wood dolly with larger wheels and strap the boat tight to the dolly and pull the dolly with a rope. The boat is only 170 lb.

A good boat dolly is always a great investment, get an aluminum one with rubber tires and pads. I use mine quite often and even store the boat on it covered. I spent around $150 on Ebay, well worth it.

We have had absolutely no problem with our wonder wheeler. We have only 50 to 75 yards of paving to pull before the beach. We have seen very little road wear. It pulls quite well on sand and would probably pull better with larger tires. All n all the Wonder Wheeler is worth the money. Hope this has been helpful. Bill

You need to get a goose-neck adapter for it, but she should pull a 30 foot trailer with its whole .1HP

You probably won't need a trailer, Doug. If it hangs out the back a little, you can tie it off. The boat is light enough to get in and out of the truck fairly easily. Good luck....

I have taken this boat on a small lake along with a bigger boat. it is hard to control its direction, fits one perfect 2 fit tight but doable holds up to 350lbs I believe, but I also have a challenger 2person inflatable kayak that work a lot better for what you are looking for and fishing

I would not buy one if they still have the cheap china motors on them.The company changed the motors and they pick up real slow compared to the old ones.Make sure you can send it back.I have a 20lb anchor on my old one.

The delivery doesn't call for in home delivery, they will only take it off the truck. so I offered the delivery man an extra $50 bucks to haul it in for me. You will need a substantial dolly or strong group of people to help you otherwise. One the box is opened its ready to go!

It's designed to easily handle a trolling motor and trust Me it works great! Since the Sun Dolphin is so light a trolling motor pushes it around just find. Anything more would really be to much for it, not saying it wouldn't work, just saying there simply is no need to go with an out board motor when the trolling motor does the job right! An outboard motor might just get you and the little Dolphin into danger so if you do try it please do yourself a favor and do so with extreme caution!!!

When I owned this boat I used a 45 lb. thrust trolling motor, and it pushed it pretty good, but I used it only on a small river. I think a 5 to 8 hp motor would work just fine for this boat if you are going to use it on a larger body of water.

I have one with a 2.5 horsepower motor that pushes this boat pretty well. Its not a race boat but probably moves it around 10 knots or so. 3.5 horsepower motor should do even better. Like the product.

I am not sure what the weight rating on the tires is? I don't know that I would push the weight rating more than maybe 100lbs. Also this will sit under the cart best when the boat has a keel (to fit into the slight V on the cart.) without knowing the weight or shape of this boat, I can't answer this well, but it is pretty versatile, and should be able to dolly a wide variety of items, soooo, most likely?

We use a marine one. It'll last all day on a lake. (p.s. my husband has 4, but only needed 1 ;- } so? 2 All I know is I get in after push off sit down and that little motor does the rest.

Yes this will work. I have used it many pulls out on the Lake. I havent experianced any problems. Got it for a great price!

60 foot tow rope - airhead makes one and amazon sells it. You will also likely need a towing harness to direct the rope around your outboard. Airhead also makes one of those - I bought the one with the pulley on it so that it keeps the tow rope centered. It connects to the boat transom tie-down rings

Depends on the length of your boats. I have 10 footers and I do not I use bunji cords and hook on the carry straps and hook back to the cross bars on my jeep. Boats never move.

I'll have to go measure. I intend to build my own dolly to fit my boat. While it works, it doesn't work that well.

Great in the water. Have not used in the snow. I do have 3 snow tubes from LLBean and they are great. Highly recommend them. Based on that experience I'd say Big Bertha would work but it is big and heavy and hard to move about. Also the snow tubes have an extra heavy hard rubber/plastic bottom and bumper that protects the inflated tube. Given that I'd say buy a true snow tube.
