We have bought several of the Hobie carts through the ages. We have a pair of Outfitter kayaks used occasionally and an Oasis used regularly (all tandems). Last summer I bought a C-Tug with SandTrakz wheels having gotten tired of fighting to get the posts in and out of the kayaks on land and water. Since then the C-Tug is the only cart we have used (and on many types of terrain) and life is way better.
The Hobie carts are solid, well-made, and carry a lot of weight. But for a heavier tandem kayak with a motor and accessories being launched and retrieved solo, I find them to a be a challenge to use. The C-Tug does not seem as sturdy but nothing has broken yet.
