scupper plug wheels on Malibu? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Do you guys recommend not using scupper post wheels on Malibus? I have heard different things, that boats that support them (Hobies) have reinforced scupper posts and most boats are risking cracks if the posts are over stressed. Thanks for any feedback.

When I had my stealth 12 I didn't like the idea of getting a crack in a scupper post and not knowing it so I made one that it just sat on top of..

PS guys on here loved my purple wheels but they do work good on sand

I followed these plans to build a cart for my Malibu XTreme and it works great.
