I actually tossed out a couple of kids bikes this past weekend, but
saved the front fork assemblies for the purpose of making a small boat
dolly that I could just roll around the Bolge light boats in the
yard. I think it should be able to move anything up to Diablo if
properly designed!

"back from a long slumber in bicyle land"
In addition to the 12' Payson Pirogue, there is also a 16 foot
version that was originally sold through Elrowe LaRowe. He talks
about in his Newsletter #2, July 1984.

Pirogue 16 #451 16'0"x3'3" sail, oars, paddles $35.00 PB&F Plywood
flat-bottom boat with decks designed for cheap fast construction.

There are some nice photos at one of the Bolger sites too, but I
can't find them. And then a stretched version, used with an electric
motor is located here:

It seems to me this would work well if one stayed close to shore as
Mr. Samson suggests. And can be hauled around with a small homemade
cart. (Saw somewhere that a guy hauled his behind his bike.)

Can be paddled with a double kayak type paddle, has a nice little
sprit sail and built-in outriggers for rowing too:-)
