I used to own a set of beach wheels (not cat trax) that were made in Bradenton Fla.. They were separate wheels with a frame contoured to the H - 16 hull at midships. Does anyone know if they are still available for purchase. They worked very well and were less cumbersome that than the Trax.
You mean these?:
They were about half the cost of Cat-Trax at the time, but having owned both, the Cat-Trax is far superior.
The Cat Trans had a nasty habit of slipping sideways under the boat, and the tubes on the inner part would put a hole in your hull.
I sold mine with my second boat in 1984. They haven't been made in a very, very long time.
