Hi there, I use one of these from Machine Mart with the back wooden upright piece left off. I've cut wooden piece of timber to size that sits on top of the red metal 'box' section that slides on and off, giving handy storage area underneath. Locks in place for moving boats about. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/pal4w-4-wheel-wagon Carries most of my boats with ease including my Eldergarth tug, 1/16 Trent, some stick out a bit at the back but had no problems and lot safer and easier than carrying them! I've got Peugeot 406 estate, goes in and out of there easy. Number6 :-))

Are we looking for carrying carts or launching trolleys here?  I made a beaching trolley out of PVC pipe and lawnmower wheels for under 20 dollars.

This cost nowt, Handle is off a Kids Scooter, Large wheels are off a Mobility Wheelchair ( ask for them at repair shops ) small wheels are from a shopping trolley ( not Supermarket  ), being articulated it is very maneuverable.

This is my Machine Mart garden trolley, everything up top taken off leaving just the chassis and wheels, chassis altered so it can be extended or shortened to suit whichever boat i take and two cradles welded onto the chassis that all my large scale boats will ride in with ease...
