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.

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.

You're right these wheels work amazingly well. I have a friend that bought the narrow rubber wheels from home depot to build a cart and they do not work at all for him. |
