A small watercraft end portion transportation device utilizes a hull cradle attached to a hull carrier to protect a watercraft during portage. The hull cradle has form-fitting cradle plates which wrap around the sides of the bow or stern and support the underside hull. Plate cushions can be used to more evenly distribute pressures to the cradle and protect the craft. Tie attachments, tie cables and tie downs can be used to secure the craft in the cradle. The lower hull carrier uses a number of hull carrier supports which together support the cradle above a carrier wheel assembly and provide additional plate protection to the craft and cradle. A modified set of rear hull carrier supports extend downwards from the lower hull carrier and attach to a carrier wheel assembly. The hull carrier supports act as independent suspension systems to absorb shock from the wheels.
