Thanks, lots of good options, the portaboat might work, not sure about the 70 lb weight though, as I am limited to the amount of weight I can carry.
They have smaller (10 foot and 8 foot) portabotes as well. These weigh proportionately less. Ours is a 12 footer and they also make a 14 footer. I am in my 60's and can handle it by myself but almost always move it with my spouse which makes it must easier. If you are in a campground, I am sure you could get someone to help you with it, as I almost always draw a crowd at the boatramp when I am putting it together or taking it apart. Also, they make a set of removable wheels for it (porta-dolly), so you could just get it off the side of the trailer and put it together right there and then just wheel it to the water.
