What is it missing? What is the UR? What would it take to make it work? I'm guessing it's missing the cross bar. That could probably replaced by an aluminum extrusion or even a 2 x 4. My buddy is looking for portage wheels to get his canoe loaded with fishing gear from his cabin to his dock, it's about 200 yards. He wouldn't be putting it in his canoe, it would stay at the dock while he fished.

UR is Spring Creek's Universal Receiver. It's about $100 for a 36" version which is what I use with stabilizer floats. It comes with the clamps to attach to the canoe. What kind of canoe? What do you mean by "loaded"? You could easily haul a few rods and tackle boxes, etc. If he put a couple hundred pounds in it he might tear rivets out of the gunnels.

Oh, that's not a load at all. I wrote to Spring Creek before I bought my package and asked about carrying a load. They said they that when they went to sport shows they would put the wheels on a canoe and load it with stuff for their booth.

I'm just across the river in Hudson. There is one guy interested but hasn't answered my shipping quote yet. If he doesn't want them you can have them.
