I think your best option of all the ones offered, is the 30.00 boat trolley on CL. You flip the boat upside down with this dolly on the transom so you can put the bow over the ball of your trailer hitch somehow, like someone else mentioned, and just tow it down to the launch with your vehicle. I think that's probably the easiest, and cheapest way to solve this dilemma. I would buy, or use an old dock line, cut it to length, (to use specifically for towing this boat), and tie a loop in one end, and use the existing loop in the other end to tie to a cleat, or the bow eye of the boat, and then just put the loop on the other end over the ball of the hitch. If there is no cleat on the bow of the boat to tie the loop to, then I would get a "D" ring and put the "D" ring on the loop of the rope to use as a quick connect / disconnect to the bow eye. Simple.
