Scupper type cart question

[Billy V]

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?

[ronbo613]

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

Hobie carts work without damage because they are designed to be used together. The posts on the cart allow for very very little movement in the scuppers which cuts down a lot on the wear and tear of the scuppers.

Other than Hobie Kayaks being used with Hobie Carts I 100% recommend the cradle style carts. Like Brian said we repair a ton of scuppers that crack from bad carts.

This is why I come to this site often, you learn something new all the time. I started with a homemade cradle cart, but found to be hard to load the boat. The cart would always slip out when I would be securing it to the cart. I then went to a scupper cart. After this "intervention" I am going to back to the cradle cart. Is there a trick to getting the cart not to slip out while loading it?
