Josh,

For the V type bumper that you are looking for try an automotive store that carries parts for trailers. The V shape bumpers are used for the front of boat trailers where the bow of the boat meets the trailer. Should cost you less than $5.

Good Luck,

Ken

: I have a couple of plans on my home computer. I am on the road this week, but
: if you email me a reminder on Friday, I will be glad to forward either the
: plans or URLs. My favorite is PVC pipe covering a 2 or 3 foot long rod on
: which you attach wheels and V-Type bumper (which I have yet to find). Put
: the bow in the bumper and tie it down with a bungee cord.
