We use a wagon. It's a real big one, with stake sides that my parents bought for my sons at the PA state fair. I forget the brand. It's at the lake, and I'm not. The water's hard.....nuts :(

I got tired of hauling 3 or 4 5gal cans of gas, Ice Chest, towels and stuff down to the boat house. It's only about 160 feet from the house but it gets old real fast. I had a golf cart but it was old and always need work. So I bought one of these, works out great.

I don't know if this was intended toward the marina crowd or not. I have my own camp. We use a modified golf cart to move stuff around the property. Great for moving gas cans, coolers, etc right up to the dock. Only 25 feet from there out to the boat.

Have since added at flip/flop seat on the rear that doubles as a flat bed.

drive right to the gravel in front of the dock in the picture below.

If you're looking for something to use at the marina, I noticed in florida a lot of people used pull golf carts at the beach. The modified them so they can hold a cooler, chairs, etc. The large wheels make it easy to use. You can find cheap one at yard sales and on craigslist.

I use a metal wagon I got at Lowes for about $85. So far I like it:
