    I just throw them over the hulls about in line with the front crossbar if the trailer and bungee them to said crossbar. The pad I made from walmart camp pads cut layers and glued and attached with bungies. (they need to be remade, getting old) They also make pretty good hull cradles and make it possible to get the boat on wheels by yourself if you need to.

    Late to this, but after a lot of versions I now put the wheels in front of the trailer axel under the hulls. I used to carry them lengthwise under the tramp like ConnorG showed, but it's awkward to get them out while the boat is still on the trailer. And I never like letting the wheels ride on top of the hulls, but I routinely trailer 400+ miles to regattas and it's amazing what damage a little chafe can do at 75 mph.

    I made an album in Technical if anyone else wants to share pictures of their setup.

    I like that. Lengthwise is easy but, as you say, awkward. I'm going to have a look at mine tomorrow to see if I can wedge them up under the front like that. Seems very secure and easy.
