    Default launch wheels

    Bought my 10' spratley. Need to put launch wheels on it. Are the spratley ones the best way to go or another style attached to the transom Any help is appreciated. Spratley ones look a little small in the photos, but since I've never done this I don't know how big they should be.

    Bigger is better. I put 10" wheels on my boat and more often than not I wished I had gone larger. Not every lake has the best access and rocks are a beech when you are launching solo.

    Bought mine from Princess Auto. I made my own launch wheel assembly. I think they are selling a larger wheel now, you would have to check because their stock changes all the time. Kayak launching wheels would be optimum. They sell the sets for a couple hundred on line, but you can make them for much less. I just used some aluminum square tubing and "C" Channel. Easy build. If you want some more info pm me.
