1st time using the new kayak mover.  The thought is I simply float the kayak into the water and drag it out - fully set up.   No more lifting it to drop out scupper wheels. 

I've stretched, and worked on my core.  My back is better, and I'm hoping to not injure it kayaking.

That's a heck of a cart. Looks like a trailer.

I like that one. I see all kinds around here. The Bassmaster Kayak series fishes an area lake every year so we see hundreds of kayaks and they've got some fancy trailers. You're looks simple and lite  ~c~

Watched I guy get drug into the lake with his one day :surrender: the ramp was a little steeper than he realized and it happened so fast no one could react to help. :help:

mmmm...jury is stil out. 

with my kayak loaded and ready to go into the water, the nose comes up!!  it drags the cart up with it.  the wheels are in front to the balance point.  BOO!

and taking it apart to put back into the truck while i fish, sucks.  especially with frozen fingers.  gah..

A well placed high quality kayak cart can help distribute the weight evenly on both sides of the cart and allow for super easy launching. I was worried when I saw yours that it might be a little tough.

side to side, it is stable as ever.  over stable.  the stock Hobie wheels are no were near it.

Maybe, I misspoke. Sorry about that. I was meaning that loaded down, the nose of your kayak comes up and drags the cart up with it.

With a bunk style cart that can be moved to perfectly balance the kayak, you can easily wheel the kayak to and from the water with almost no effort.
