This is a really good feature for a cart.  I used to live just a block and
a half from a place where I could put in.   I built a cart for carrying my
kayak down to the put in.  After rolling it down and putting the kayak in
the water I'd "stash" it under a tree in a spot that wasn't really visible
unless you climbed down the bank.  After paddling one day I came back to
find that someone had taken the cart.  I doubt that they even knew what it
was used for.  Carrying a heavy british boat a block and a half is *no fun*.

One of the other nice features of a cart is one that will mount near the
middle of the boat rather than sliding onto the end.  That way you're only
pulling the boat and not lifting *and*
pulling.
