Matthew Dawson Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi all, I am planning to build a set of beach wheels for my Cobra. Do you know where I can source wheels in Victoria? I am in Geelong, but could travel to Melbourne. The next question is what wheels to get? I have been looking at wide wheelbarrow wheels, but I usually launch on a beach with very soft sand, so I wonder if the hard plastic wheels would be better (that's what the other boats use). Obviously the 'aircraft' wheels would be ideal, but I assume they are pretty expensive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 G'day Matt, Have a look at these, great buy, and freight ie easy between Brisvegas and Melb. For Sale original Nacra Beach Wheels (orange ones) Please note this is the wheels only and does not include the axle or cradles. They are in good condition with no leaks, have had light use (used with 16sq) I upgraded to the newer style recently and have no use for these anymore, I am moving house and won't be able to store them at the new place. Located in Ipswich / Brisbane $50 Call Corey on 0408 154 195.

bad dog Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The Erotrax are the ants pants but also v exy! I made a solid set using 4 wide wheelbarrow wheels in tandem pairs - fine on soft sand, great for gutters and kerbs. Heavier than the conventional design, but also useful for strapping boat down on overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
