Post subject:  Building a Garage / Driveway cart for my Hobie Adventure

I picked up this steel cart on Craigslist yesterday for $20. It’s 99L x 22W and weighs about 35-45 pounds. This has 4” Colson casters, two with brakes. I am going to use it to make a garage storage cart for my 16 foot Adventure and am looking for some input as to how you folks would adapt this cart for my purposes.

Right now I store the yak upside down on sawhorses and it is a pain to get it out of the garage and onto my truck. I wanted something to roll out in the driveway or street. I'm undecided on what to add to the cart. I was thinking of 10 foot long 1.5 or 2” PVC tubes running along the grooves on the bottom of the hull. I’d build a frame to bring them up just above the 37” high handle. That would make it easy to work on, not to mention closer to the roof of my camper shell.

I would look into mounting two parallel schedule 40 PVC pipes in which the hull is set into.
Assuming you used 2 each, 2 7/8" OD pipes, mounted to fit either side of the center hull shape would nicely support the hull.
