With something like that you can launch straight out of your truck

I have a p a and haven't had any problems with it and it has plastic whells
From a toy cart slides on the soft sand

Look at the pictures that I send you last month

[jorluivil]

I've owned three and carts three kayaks

My first cart was one of these






My second cart was made of PVC, I don't have a pic of it.



My third cart was a Wheelez cart with the big sand wheels







I sold traded my first cart for a stick of gum

My second cart was traded for the wrapper that holds the stick of gum


while I agree that you will you get a feeling of self accomplishment if you make your own cart you will still have to deal with the fact that the dolley wheels DO NOT work in the sand, I am only speaking from experience and nothing else. Take my advise or not but I can assure you that the first time you have to pull your kayak through soft sand you will remember everything I said.......I guarantee this.
