Title: Car Topper wheels
Post by: dave c on August 17, 2025, 06:55:32 PM

Recently bought a 12 ft car topper. Polyethylene Jon boat style. 5 hp motor. Want to put wheels on stern for easy launch. Thinking of making my own brackets. Any suggestions?

I have no comment re: with DIY brackets but have a look at Aquamarine boats for pre-fab solutions. They have a bunch of different wheels and mounts.

I have a set pf quick release wheels for a 1040 tinny from them that work great. At least on my boat, if you mount them spaced just right, you can use them with the boat either regular (ie for launching) or inverted (ie for roof rack or storage)
