If you put wheels on SWMBO then she will never be able to recover the tender, keeping up when going down hill will also be much more difficult, so I do not recommend it at all.

I bought Trem from Gael Force marine. They seemed to have the best reviews and they are well made.

The ones I have are http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/new-Launc...able-dinghy-/400016260279?hash=item5d22d3bcb7
forget the 150 kilo bit, I bought them because I can remove the wheel struts in seconds by hand untightening one bolt per side and the frame work that is left still allows the tender to be folded without pinching it or adding to bulk. The wheels are substantial enough that pulling over sandy beaches is still a breeze, and give enough leg room that the motor can be left down while doing so. (Also great for lowering before the beach and so avoiding any propstrike when the waters shallow out) They are also extremely light and the wheel struts once removed can be packed away conveniently flat.
