Thread: Small boat advice and options

Realistically you are going to need 3 people to carry a Mac/Smartwave or alloy pontoon boat down a beach. One at the bow and one at each side of the stern.

Have a good think about the places you are going to be launching from and whether you can get away with launching with the trailer preferably or with a good set of beach wheels.
With the wheels tucked under the transom and the motor counterbalancing it makes the bow lighter and not too bad to do by yourself if you have a suitable beach to do it IE not a boulder garden.

Also if the weather is good as you say it doesnt take long to fang a few km to where you want to fish if it means a better launching spot.

If you are set on being able to carry it I really think something like Gimps one is your only option.

Tiller steer all the way in a little boat.....especially if trying to beach launch it on wheels.
