advice for Stealth 12 PVC cart?

[pbb]

Thanks for all the feedback. It is loosely based on the Palmetto PVC cart, but again I was eyeballing the width in my original cuts.

I might take the yak down and give a trial run in the yard at the current width before gluing everything together or deciding to cut it narrower to fit into the channels.

I didn't want to put posts for the scupper holes, b/c I saw (on youtube) that some folks turn their carts upside down on their cars and use them to load onto the racks. But I suppose I could consider putting posts that wouldn't be glued in and thus could be removed for car loading.

I'm using Lowe's 7 inch plastic wheels, which are fairly narrow (1.5"). It just occurred to me that I could buy a second pair of wheels to increase the width of both the wheel surface and the overall cart: A dually kayak cart. An extra set of wheels would be $10, and 3 additional inches of wheel width and overall cart width.

Anybody have good suggestions about where to buy pool noodles this time of year in SD? Suggestions other than Walmart are greatly appreciated...

The standard hobie cart is around 12" wide where the supports are, so making yours 10 1/2" wide like I did to fit the stealth isn't anything to worry about. It works great

I bought my cart wheels at Harbor freight for $5.99 each. The pool noodle I got from Walgreens. They were displayed outside the front of the door. $2.99

I've got an extra dolly from the X-13 I had. It's powder coated steel. PM me if interested.
