Any solutions that are easier to put under this massive kayak or just stick to the cart I have?

Yeah, lifting the PA and putting in teh scupper cart after a day on the water can be a challenge if you can't enlist some assistance. I'm interested in alterantive solutions as well

The wheeleez cart has its draw backs too. Anything other than flat ground is a pain.
And it needs a little modification to make it work optimally. But I believe its a better solution than the scupper cart

I use the Hobie Heavy Duty cart for my PA when launching from a ramp. Wheel it right in the water and then you just pull up your sleeve on your right arm past the elbow, slightly lift the boat with your left hand and reach under to remove it when knee deep in water. Easy to put back under the boat when you are done by slightly lifting the PA up from the hand rail and reaching under to slide the cart back in the scupper holes behind the seat.

I also have the HD cart with sand wheels and you cannot remove or install them without tipping up the PA on dry land. They work great for sand and beach launching, but it will tear the crap out of your boat tipping it on it's side on the launch ramp.
