I bought some Cat Trax out of the catalog. Expensive, but well worth the money. They do really well on the soft sand. They also fit on my trailer perfectly. |

I also have Cat Trax and in the soft sand of MI they work great. Get the cradles also. I bolted two parallel pieces of steel galvanized conduit down to my trailer and can slide them under the boat for travel. Expensive but worth the money. |

Try these, will cost you less than $100 if you don't need cradles and under $200 if you do. 
http://www.geocities.com/mec_coleman/tip13.htm I made some of these. Work GREAT on soft and hard sand.  Not to good on uneven ground.  VERY light, just put on hulls and tie to trailer.

What more needs to be said. Those are the same barrels that I used.

How do you attach the beach wheels so they do not slide when pushing the boat? Mine slide back, however I suspect that this may be due to the small wheels that I am using. I will be trying the suggestions in the links. Thanks all. |

You connect a line to the ends of the beach wheel axel. Then you tie the bitter end of that line to the shrouds when the wheels are under the boat. |
