Weight, bulk, storage ease on board and ability to float are some considerations that are important to me with wheels. The lightest I used was hard 18" plastic wheels from a child's front big wheel trike on a straight telescoping axle with 2 PVC cradles for the toons, with lash down to each pontoon. Two of my pontoons had a cross bar behind, so I also had a different "flip" up design which used the cross bar and saved a lot of time and space when in use. No flats with the big wheels....
