: I just did something similar as the point of the bow snapped off in some

: the Forester :-(. I was going to anyway as I almost speared a mate's boat
: in the surf. What I did was cut a slot into the end pour. Inserted a flat
: piece of wood which projected out past the bow. Used a hole saw to cut two
: wheels, drilled through the inserted piece and pushed a dowel through the
: two wheels and the inserted piece and epoxied it all together.

I just had an idea! After an event such as you had with the road surface, why not actually put two small wheels on the end? You could turn the boat over and drag it to the pier instead of carrying it.
