I presently have a Hobie Heavy Duty cart that I originally purchased for use with a Compass. It was OK. When paired with my new Lynx, however, it has a very loose fit in the scuppers and just doesn't seem like a good match. Curious if the Hobie folding cart might be a better match. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc. on any carts to fit the Lynx?
Thanks
David

I am using the smaller trax2 (24) with my Lynx when parking far away from the launch. No issues.

I have the trax 2 (24). I'm wondering if the trax 2-30 will make a difference tilting the lynx in/out truck bed

We generally encourage Lynx owners to do the old tennis ball trick to provide a larger and softer surface area where the cart frame makes contact with the hull around the scuppers. partly to get around the issue you've raised here, but also to provide a more plush ride for the relatively softer hull of the Lynx. There's some example photos on this post:

I have recently been using the C-tug. It is half the price of the Hobie cart and doesn't damage the scuppers. It is a little fiddly with getting the straps to work, but as long as you cinch them down down and run them behind the back piece of tubing on the seat it holds firmly

I have a trax 2 and I seem to be dragging it through soft sand.

There is no extra weight on the Lynx but in soft sand, the tyres dig in and I am dragging the thing. I am considering the trax 2-30 but I am reluctant to pay for another cart to get the same result.
