摘要： The invention relates to a personal watercraft carrier for transporting personal watercraft such as jet skis, wave runners and the like, into and out of the water. The personal watercraft carrier has a conventional carrier frame, which includes rail supports for the watercraft, and a tongue having a handle for pushing or pulling the carrier, and is supported by one or more axles, which rotatably mount large-surface wheels. The wheels support the weight of the watercraft and carrier while traveling over soft terrain e.g. sand. The wheels are constructed so that the carrier as a whole has neutral or negative-buoyancy. As a result of the neutral or negative-buoyancy of the carrier, the carrier can drop away as the depth of the water increases, thus enabling the watercraft to be easily removed from the carrier. Similarly, the carrier can be positioned below the surface of the water for retrieval of the watercraft. The watercraft can then be easily floated into position over the carrier for retrieval. In one embodiment, the wheels are open so that water freely flows into the wheels. The large-surface wheels are typically constructed of a heavy-duty, dense plastic or metal and have a cylindrical rim and a disk or a number of spokes extending perpendicularly inward from the rim with gussets to the cylindrical surface. The carrier also includes rails that can be extended with a tongue-and-groove construction to accommodate longer watercraft, or multiple watercraft, on one carrier.
