I copied the link ,it worked , I got $60.00 off and I bought one for $64.79 total shipped from Amazon , it arrived today , you won't receive a dolly per say, what you will receive is a giant erector set that can be assembled into a watercraft dolly, I want to make that point clear up front . if you like IKEA furniture you will be right at home assembling this dolly.
Tools needed for assembly , a 13mm and a 10mm socket, ratchet and a short extension, a 10mm and 13mm wrench , I recommend a cordless ratchet or impact gun but it's not necessary, you will also need a soldering iron or soldering gun, I will get into that later.
Assembly is pretty straight forward , the instructions absolutely suck as do the assembly pics but with a little skill and reasoning it goes together fairly easily . it takes about 30 minutes and two Coronas , longer if you drink more than two Coronas.
About the Soldering gun , the holes to mount the bunks are in the steel bunks but not in the carpet, I found the easiest tool to use was the soldering gun, I put it up to the holes heated it up and twisted it making perfect holes in the carpet in about 30 seconds.
I found a couple of surprises , the first it has metal bunks, not wood , they are covered with a piece of sewn carpet , a carpet sleeve if you will , the second is I fully expected the casters to be absolute trash on something like this, surprisingly the casters look really good , it comes with two straight casters and two locking casters , the metal for the stand is the finest grade Chinesium money can buy , just kidding its painted steel and not really that thick but it also makes the stand not overly heavy.
It is defiantly not at the same level as the three stands I currently have three person skis sitting on, like I said in the other thread , it's a copy and it's Chinese.
It seems to be adequately braced and it comes with plastic caps for the ends of the tubes and the bunks , I did have a bag of leftover hardware , no biggie better to have too many bolts than too few.
The bunks are adjustable as far as the angle but they are laid flat as most stands like this are, not ideal for standup but they will work, there are also multiple holes to mount the bunks to get the correct spacing..
The bottom line is this : it's a decent stand , I would feel comfortable putting a standup on it , maybe not a four stroker but a Blaster . Blaster ll etc should be fine , I wouldn't spend the list price for one of these , at this price it's a no brainer, at full list of $124.79 I would pass also I wouldn't put a 1000 lb Seadoo on it , for what I need it for it's perfect , your needs and or experiences may be different.
