Post subject:  Wheels/axles through the cross bars

I store my TI under my deck which has a limit amount of headroom to pull the cart under the deck. I was thinking about running an axle through both cross bars, installing 4 small solid plastic wheels to roll the cart under the deck and than leave it stored on the axle/wheel assembly, upside down when not in use. I would need to install a foam, wood or rubber bushing at each end of the cross bar so they don't get damaged will rolling under the deck about 20 feet. Anyone see any problems with this idea?.
Thanks

Any chance you could install a scupper cart from the top side, flip the hull over and then wheel her underneath the deck?

Thats a good thought but not enough head room to pull the cart out of the holes.

Sounds like a great idea jholtco! 8)
Stored upside down is the recommended Hobie method so I can't see a problem. A while back bjb devised a cart that clipped into the sidekick bar.
You might get a few ideas from that:
