get the wheelez cart instead


yes its expensive
yes its bulky
yes it may get punctured and go flat but it's easily repairable


The hobie wheels are well built, sturdy and not to expensive but because they do not have bearings it takes some extra effort to pull the PA. I am able to breakdown my wheelez cart when necessary, I put the two wheels in the front hatch and strap down the frame behind the bait tan. I had the PA loaded with all of my gear and have had no issues pulling up any ramp.

Yes on Wheeleez + rail kit + simple modification to fit the PA hull.

+1 wheeleez all the way...the big balloon wheels for sand. I've seen people use the smaller wheels on PA's and although it does work, the wheels will rub against the hull scratching it pretty bad.

I see this question come up all the time on our local kayak forum and somehow people always don't listen to the advice from the OGs and buy some other junk just to regret it shortly after. Don't be that guy, get the wheeleez.

What model do you have?
How do the bearings hold up?
How often do you puncture tires and how do you repair on the go? Standard plug kit?
