Abstract
Canoe toting apparatus which enables a single individual to manually transport a canoe or similar marine craft over reasonable distances comprises a pair of wheels rotatably mounted on opposite ends of an adjustable width axle and a adjustable-width gunwale clamp whcih extends parallel to the axle and is attached at each end to one of the axle ends by clamping rods. The rods are threaded and accept nuts which can be tightened against the gunwale clamp to secure the canoe against the axle. An optional keel guide, contoured for a conventional V-shaped keel, attaches to the top surface of the axle to accommodate canoes having keels.
