    Need something to carry boats in / on ???

    Ok here is the problem I face
    DSC_0796.jpg
    In the picture I am standing in the Car Park looking across to where the lake is. It's another 50 meters behind that van. I won't be risking going over that terrain in my Citroen so I need something to carry my boats in. Currently I'm using a Hockey bag 36 x 12x 12. Its ok but no support inside the bag.
    I need 2 bags for 2 33" boats. One cat and one Mono.
    What do you use? What makes it easiest?

    I use to use a heavy duty wagon with oversized wheels when I had to go very far with my boats. Not sure how well it would fit into a car though. I drive a truck so it works pretty well. You can get the wagons from home depot for about $90.

        It was the middle of summer and the water level was low but it is about 250 meters away behind and to the left of the camper van.

            I have used one of these; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mac-Sports-M...item45ff8a1098
            However they are not very good in soft sand, or rough terrain. Have also strapped a box onto a hand-truck/dolly, with pneumatic wheels.
            I also have a wagon like what Jasoncyclone has, but I'm sure it is much too large for you, OR our Citroen. Great if you want to move your boats, AND the entire family and their *stuff*.
            Have also used my wife's folding, wheeled laundry basket. My favorite is something I found in a dumpster. Short wheelbase, 4 pneumatic tires, removable handle. Pulling back on the handle you can ride on 2 wheels
            for stairs, or rough trails. Just needed to get 2 new inner tubes, and *retrofit*

              I use an Easton hockey gear bag that is 18" x 18" x 36" and it has an internal frame with rollerblade wheels and a telescoping pull handle. I also made an internal PVC rack to hold two boats securely inside. I can also put my radios and other small items in the exterior pockets where the skates would go. I use it to store the two boats in as well.

              It also hides new boat purchases from the wife!

                Here is what I use when I have to carry them very far. http://products.baseballsavings.com/...1111906443.php. Similar to FE's. It has a retractable handle, wheels, extra pockets etc. It was a baseball bag i bought my son when the made his High School Varsity team as a freshman. And of course like all 15 year old he used it twice and said it was too big and out of "Style".

                  i recently got one of these for nothing and ive been brainstorming ideas to modify it to carry boats. they make them with motors now too. i suppose ill fabricate some sort of rack syatem that is small but can carry multiple boats… we'll see what i come up with. http://www.amazon.com/Intech-Junior-.../dp/B000HTBBDO
