Harbor Freight Wheel Dollies

HF wheel dollies. Good to have.

I bought these. They were a little more expensive than the ones in the video, but I couldn't be happier with them.

^^ Same here. I have the Daytonas as well.

My trailer tires are 255's and the less expensive Pittsburgh model isn't wide enough. The rollers on the Daytonas are a couple inches wider

I have 2. Once I learned to back the boat in at the correct angle I didn't need them anymore, but I still have them. That said, after about a dozen uses (mind you this is pushing the boat maybe 2-3' total) one of them started to bind up when lifting. I could stand on the pedal to jack it up (and I'm 280+lbs) and it wouldn't budge. Plus I had to put my full weight into the boat to get it to move. That's on a single axle 18' boat.

Can you spin the boat by just using two? If so, which two tires works best?

I don’t have much luck with using 2, I would highly recommend getting the 4 if you’re going to do it!

I use only 2 for my dual axel but I only use them to spin the boat about 2' to get it tucked against a pole as close as possible. You put them on the front axel and bring the tongue down as low as it will go. If you want to move the boat AROUND in the garage I agree with everyone else you need 4 for dual axel.

You sure can. My driveway has a 90 degree turn into the garage so I use 2 on the front axle so I can turn the boat by hand.

I roll the boat out, put the dollies on, grab the tongue and turn the boat while also pulling it out to make a swing, then hook it up.

I've got the harbor freight ones and they've lasted almost 4 years of doing that on old rough concrete. Honestly suprised they've made it

Thanks. I am getting a boat only slightly larger than my space, so I probably only have to rotate the thing a small amount to get clearance. I am going to try visqueen first.

I’m sure this is a stupid question, but what is visqueen???

Plastic sheeting.

Visqueen..........haven't heard that word in a long time......my dad always had some in back of his work truck and as kids we used it as a slip n slide, add water and Dawn soap and play all day....

Lol, yeah it's like saying coke I guess. Brand name. But alas, I am still boatless :banghead:
