What about ponds that do not have a ramp or where you may have to walk your rig to?

I'm trying to decide between a very small boat vs a kayak.
I never launch from a ramp hardly, maybe done that twice total. And the two ponds I fish I can pull up pretty close to the water, within 50 feet or so easily. If I had to drag it a long way I would definitely look into a wheel kit like Grainraiser has. I definitely wouldn't want to drag it far with the motor, trolling motor, battery and gear in it. If I did I would fab a bracket with wheels on it that could tote the boat in an upright position with the motor and gear in the boat to make one trip. I never used a Kayak so can't speak on it, but sure they are easier to maneuver on land.
