| Post subject: | New Cart .......... |
I LOVE the design of this cart ......... Seems to solve all the problems I have with the existing carts ....... The strap ons slip and the scupper are a pain it install at the ramp or on the beach. I just ordered a couple so hopefully I can put one on the front and back so I can just pull it along instead of lifting. Should be in within a week so I'll let you know how it works. It's the first cart I've been excited about because it seems like it solves all the problems with the existing carts. http://paddlelogic.com/trailtreker-kayak-carts.html |

Probably right but at least I can get it on easily in the water and the ramp ........The scupper mounts are a total pain and the strap ons always slip. Besides, I Only have to deal with soft sand about 1% of the time. Bigger problem is trails getting there especially the ones that are long drags. I'm sure the owner is looking into it for the future. I know he's developing one for the PA 17. He actually developed it for the NY mountain lakes where he's from and just started thinking of the salt water crowd. Can't wait to try it |

The other problem with that style is the weight is all in your hands except for what is right over or behind the axle. |

........ Yes but you guys really have to read about the cart. The wheel base is up to 40" wide so you can move it up to any position you want up to a 32" wide part of the kayak so you can position it in about any place you desire unlike a scupper cart. It's also strong enough to rip a stump out of the ground without slipping (the video) unlike a strap on cart. I have about every kind of cart made so I can attest to the short comings. This seems to take care of them .......... Guess I will see when mine arrive. |
