Kayak cart ???
I'm new to kayaking. I have only been out on my cobra fish n dive 3 times. I'm trying to built a PVC kayak cart but I'm not sure which style I should built. Kayak cradle dolly or a scupper kart. I'm leaning towards the scupper kart as long as it will not damage/crack my kayak.

I prefer the cradle style. You will add a significant amount of gear weight and if your lucky fish weight to your kayak. A cradle design distributes all that weight a lot better over a larger surface area. Also you can simply lift and slide a cradle under your hull as opposed to tilting or having to lift your kayak higher to center your posts into the scupper holes. JMHO.

I wouldn't use a scupper cart on anything but a hobie. Hobies scuppers are reinforced.
