Scupper type cart question

[fishes]

I too was wondering about the scupper carts but then I saw this. The guy who posted said the damage was due to the scupper type carts and pulling too hard on them. I don't have wheels as of yet but I will be going with the alternative.

That to me looks like the cart posts werent all the way through the scuppers when the cart was being used, since the damage is at the bottom of the scuppers.

BTW; there are at least two AKFF members who have launched with the scupper carts still installed. They couldn't figure out where all the drag was coming from until they got back to the ramp.

Maybe the Hobies are stronger boats. I never had a problem on my last 3 kayaks.

i looked at cart when i bought my sled but i could not find any that held it high enough for me to drag it with out bending low. Mine is about a foot.5 off the ground and i can stand up while dragging it to the beach which i think makes a big difference...
ps scuppers are for peeing in

Since I usually have to haul my kayak over rocks, logs and up and down steep hills; it's a little higher off the ground than a "standard' cart.
Cradle dollies have the advantage of being able to use them with different kayaks; one size fits all.

Did you make that yourself?

Yep: it's "custom built". You can make one too.
