It has worked well for me. In hindsight, the 2x4 tongue that I used might have been better served as a piece of extruded Aluminim as it warped / twisted just a little.
Now showing is the handle - I simply use a piece of 1/2" PVC electrical conduit. Does the job. here
I hope that this is of some help. The entire assembly will float in the water without the weight of the boat and this can make it a little more difficult to retrieve the boat from the water. more
Here's a pic of the assembly upside down showing the structure and how it locks into the skids. [links]
I just wanted to share something that I prototyped for my EP and have done another iteration for my PM. It's a very simple beach/ramp launch dolly for when you can't just back down into the water with the trailer.

Here's a pic showing the final assembly upside down. With this version, I think there's actually enough clearance between the tire and the hull that I could actually eliminate one whole 2x4 layer, which would make it lighter and lower. Since I only need three 2x4, it will be easy to knock out another version.
