Go to the Fireball NA home page and look in the Tech Articles for the plans for a dolly in an article by Phil Locker
: My Fireball is on a trailer with a
: flat plywood deck. There are 2
: bunks, front and back, to cradle the
: bottom. It's easy to back up the
: trailer on my truck down a ramp to
: launch the boat, but harder to rig
: the boat while on the trailer.
:
: I've seen launching dollies which
: appear to be made of a 4x4
: cross-bar, with a plastic drain-pipe
: handle and big, fat wheels, to wheel
: the boat into the water.
:
: What sort of wheels are recommended?
: The fatter the better, I'd think.
: And what sort of axle does one use
: for the wheels?
:
: Many thanks. Another project for
: this winter.
