Jon Boat Dolly?

Featured Replies

Does anybody use a jon boat dolly to get their boat to the water?  I have a 1436 duracraft with a little added weight to it, probably close to 220lbs.  It is on a trailer but there are a couple ponds/lakes i fish that don't have a trailer-able boat ramp.  I was thinking I could pull it off the trailer and put the bow on something I make, with 2x4's and 2 wheels, and drag it by the rear handles and roll it down to the water.  Anybody else do anything like this?

That's pretty heavy. I would use 2 dollies. One in the front and rear, and then just push it.

Try typing "aluminum boat launching wheels" into your favorite search box.

I would also dolly the rear of the boat as it tends to have more weight there and if v hull then easier to pull by one front handle compared to balancing the front.

Thanks for the replies.  The boat is pretty light since I took out the back platform and what not.  I will give it a try and go from there.
