I decided to go with 8" steel casters I like that they will never ever flat spot, and the 8" diameter will help them roll with weight on them. I am going to mount them off the top of the stand to keep the boat low I plan on keeping the keel about 13-15" off the ground.

Pete ,your dolly looks slick...you should publish a sketch on our site for someone else may want to make a pair.
Also need you to send the life line to my supplier...Jeff Schuster, Rigging Only...,50 4th St....Fair Haven Mass.02719 and tell him the length you needed in cut down to. He has some of my parts so he can get it done.
