Bought a couple pieces of square tubing (1" and 1 1/4"), a pair of wheels ($4 each on sale), and some misc nuts/bolts......and VOILA!

The wheels are attached to the smaller diameter tubing and slide into the larger tubing that's attached to the transom. The great thing is that because the wheels float, they stay put when the boat hits the water. I just reach into the water and slide the wheels off when I'm ready to motor out on the lake.

Only cost $30 in materials

Looks great! I would get those galvanized. Did the wheels come with an axis?
