A trailer pontoon bottom has built in wheels designed to fold under the trailer pontoon to be clear of the water and to extend out and lock for land use and be clear of the pontoons. A pair of swing arms each having a first end attached to an inside axial hub of the wheel are designed to rotate on a boss of the first end. A second end of the swing arm is configured to rotate a maximum of 90 degrees from its folded position into a trailer position. An axis parallel to a back end of the trailer pontoon is configured to attach to each of the pair of swing arms at a respective pivot located a swing arm distance from an edge of the trailer pontoon. The axis is rotatable by less than 90 degrees to enable each wheel to retract against a suspension bumper.
