ABSTRACT:
Removable boat wheel system for coupling a plurality of rotatable wheel assemblies to a boat for facilitating the overland transportation thereof. Each of the wheel assemblies includes a strut having spaced first and second ends, with the first end movably coupled to either the port or starboard side of the hull of the boat. A wheel is rotatably coupled to the second end of the strut. The wheel assembly also includes a support arm having spaced first and second ends, with the first end coupled to the boat forward of the first end of the strut. The second end of the support arm is movably coupled to the strut adjacent the second end thereof in such a manner that the location of the strut may be reversed between a first and second position for facilitating the overland transportation of the boat. The first position corresponds to the wheel and the strut depending generally downward below a bottom section of the boat for transporting the boat in a cockpit-up orientation. The second position corresponds to the wheel and the strut depending in a direction opposite the first position for transporting the boat in a cockpit-down orientation. The wheel assemblies are located slightly forward of a rear transom section of the boat and slightly to the rear of the center of mass of the boat, whereby the mass of the stern section of the boat partially counterbalances the mass of the bow section of the boat.
