Thanks Tel, good to know. I ordered from Amazon as well, same reason - also I think it might have been cheaper slightly. I'm sure I'll make them fit one way or another, and I do like the idea of not having the wheels come over the transom. Fully removables like some recommend not a bad idea, but frankly I'm too lazy to take them back to the car, and sometimes I need to park a fair distance away.

I’ve followed advice from this forum. So before folding the boat away, just wrap an old towel over the wheels to give the tubes some protection from the wheels. I’d got an old bit of pond liner rubber hanging around in the garage so I use that.

Elling KB 350
Tohatsu 9.8 2 stroke
Suprod hd200 transome wheels
Elling A frame
Elling bow canopy
2 Elling seat bags
2 borika rod holders
Borika bow anchor roller
Borika fish finder mount with extended transducer holder
2 extra borika complete mounts
4 borika push in fittings ( for any mods I may do later )
Tachometer
Outdoor master shark sup pump
Cooper anchor
150 ft 8mm nylon rope
4m 8mm chain
Garmin vivid 7 fish finder ( decided to go for the bigger screen than the 4 )
2 Baltic flipper bouyancy jackets ( the missus wants to look posh ) lol
Poover 12v 20ah battery

I’ve decided not to bother with the vhf radio as we both have waterproof phones and we will not be out of sight of the shore at any time.
If anyone can think of anything I should add to my list I’d be grateful for the advice.
Can’t wait to be able to get out on the water
Did you get and fit those wheels? What do you think of them?

Yes, I got the suprod wheels. I ended up having to modify them a bit but they work and look great on the Elling. I’ve been using them all summer with no problems on hard ground but can be a bit difficult on soft shingle. I imagine most wheels don’t like going through soft shingle.
I also ended up buying the vhf radio too, as I realised when I was out the first time a mobile phone is only of use to call emergency services whereas a vhf you can contact a boat very close by if your in trouble. I haven’t had to use it yet but I’m glad I bought it as it eases the mind a bit when out at sea.

Also was there a template as to the holes to be drilled template?
Thanks
