Dinghy Wheels

[Monterey10]

There are several styles of the transom wheels. Is there any particular one that works better than the others? The Pelican wheels look smaller, the wheel-aways bigger. I've read accounts that the narrow wheels don't work well in beach sand.

Thanks in advance.

The best wheels I've seen for sand are the ones made by roleez. You should be able to google them or beachcarts and find what you need.

You want the large 12" to 16" pneumatic wheels--not small plastic wheels. Davis makes some 16" wheels, with aluminum brackets which fold up and work very well on all surfaces. I have a set on both an 10'6" inflatable with 15hp ES Honda, and a 12 foot Aluminum boat, with tolling motor and batteries or even a 25 hp.
