: Hi guys,
: Has anyone got a compelling argument against screwing 4
: polyurethane wheels to each cradle stand to make the kayak
: easily movable?

I put castors on the cradle for the double I am building because it is too huge to leave in any one place. You may need to use a wheel or castor on a pivot that can swing 360 degrees unless you are going to push both cradles at once and just move in one direction. Castors that are lockable are good or you can just block them someway if you are sanding and don't want the boat and cradles sliding around.
