Abstract
Provided are two drop tubes and two case tubes with each case tube slidably receiving an associated drop tube. A sub-structure below the two drop tubes is formed of two wheels and two side plates. Each side plate is adapted to couple an associated wheel with an associated case tube. A super-structure above the two drop tubes is formed of two wings. Each wing has a C-shaped configuration. The two wings are positionable in a first orientation parallel with the drop tubes. In the first orientation, the two wings are laterally spaced from a vessel when the drop tubes are horizontal for transporting the vessel. The two wings are positionable in a second orientation perpendicular to the drop tubes. In this second orientation, the two wings form a cradle for supporting the vessel thereupon when the drop tubes are vertical for launching and retrieving the vessel.
