Nice. I went a similar route with some power wheels I found in an alley.

Nice job but I think Ill pay more than $10 to have a kid, buy him/her a powerwheels, wait for him/her to outgrow it then steal the wheels.

Ill keep an eye out for some in back alleys. Wheels not kids.

Expensive? You obviously have not owned a boat before. I'm all about do it yourself though. Good job, I hope it works well.

Haha, well it adds up! But yes have not owned a boat yet, but that's something I am currently working on changing.

GREAT start, if those tires do not work well with soft sand like BAJA you can always just change out the wheels with a set of LARGER WHEELEZE Tires and you should be good to go anywhere you wish. Tight Lines.

I actually used these already with a slightly different design and they work Great! they are very wide, light and hollow plastic with tread.
