Can't have your bait tank installed if you used the Scupper wheel cart....

Sure you can. I do it all the time.I have a Tunataxi custom crate behind me and the bait tank behind that. The key is getting your hands on a crate, but the guy that makes them is very sketchy at best.

i have the hobie wheelez. i like them but the tire pressure doesn't keep very well. ericko bought the hobie trax one, i really like the wheels, but the width seems big to me, although ericko doesn't seem to mind.
one of the things that i like about the one that i have is i can fit it into the front hatch by taking off the wheels. the wheels have a quick release style hub so it is very convenient to do so.
hope that this was helpful.

I ordered them from Wheeleze and made the cart from 1" PVC, some old surf pads and strap and there you have it . the axle iss 1/2" solid aluminum, I can fully load that kayak and center the load onn thecart and it pulls like a dream.. thru soft sand, I have another set of wheels for when I go up north for the hard pack around the lakes , The cart beaks down and stores in the kayak even the wheelezes fit inside, quick release on the wheels,

Well worth the money for the wheeleze, I debated that issue for a while but glad I did ... no regrets. no back ache either...

These wheels are the next size up from those smaller wheels on the hobie carts They have a higher weight cap. and dont plow into the sand at all, maybe a 1/2" depression if that.

cons on hobie wheelez . you need 2 peps to get wheels back in scupper holes. one to lift yak , and second person to install. you have to be careful installing. easy to damage scupper hole on yak. i tore a big hole when i first got my yak . had to have it replaced. make sure you put locking pin in after inserting legs of wheels to prevent slippage and damage , ie like when going up curbs or stairs. .

Pretty sure Ryan means a Hobie tank as the fittings for it go down the scuppers.
