Bob, If you don't think it would hurt sales, I would like to hear what you think of the cart, pro & con.

We have two of these carts. I've not used any other carts except these to any extent. I like the cart, my favorite feature is that the wheels are extremely easy to take off, requiring no tools. The cart, sans wheels, fits in my hatch, too, so I can wheel the boat to the beach without having to walk back to the car to stash the cart. It works reasonably well on powdery sand, too, and works great on concrete. My biggest gripe about this cart is that it's a bit difficult to really get the straps tight enough everytime. This could be user error, perhaps there's a better way to do it that I don't know about. Again, my likes and dislikes could be a bit irrelevant since I haven't really used any other cart to much of a degree. But, we like ours and couldn't do without them! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

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*. >Again, my likes and dislikes could be a bit irrelevant since I haven't >really used any other cart to much of a degree. But, we like ours and >couldn't do without them! 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. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
It's a great cart and I use mine often. Although it has wide pneumatic tires, they are not really designed for the soft sand we have here in SFla. I'm going to purchase one of the carts with the big balloon tires which specifically designed for beach use only. My wife won't let me have 3! It's well built, fits my boats well and is a pleasure on dirt, grass, pavement or hard sand. No downsides that I can think of. It breaks down quickly and easily and fits in the rear hatch of my Nordkapp. I have a number of homemade carts but haven't used any of them since acquiring my Primax. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
I don't use straps. I have bunjii tied to one side with large adjustable plastic hooks on the other. Quick and easy and holds well. I can adjust the length of the bunjii as required at the hooks. cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

Real moral of the story: get a boat that was built with modern techniques and doesnt' need to weigh 100 pounds to have structural integrity.

I love my Primex cart for it's functional qualities in my neck of the river. I stash the tires in the rear hatch of my Sparrow Hawk, which has an oval VCP hatch cover, but the folded frame doesn't fit inside. It's no problem for me to secure it with the deck bungees. I live near the water, so I use it quite often.

I met a fellow this weekend (he just bought a red Kevlar Gulfstream with graphite reinforcing in the deck - what a beautiful kayak) who has gone through 3 Primex carts in one and a half years (on third one). The axle is thin walled aluminum. The plastic wheels wears right through the aluminum in no time. He had one of the old ones there, and displayed it proudly as proof to the world that a product with so much hype can be so poorly designed. Just an observation.

The fellow with the worn cart said the problem ensues mostly from carting his fully laden kayak, not so much from quick trips -- but, he does paddle 5 days a week minimum. (He is an older fellow, in marvelous shape; paddles with a heart monitor, deck mounted GPS, and keeps a good clip at 5 knots in the Gulfstream with Greg Barton paddle. It never fails to impress me how some people embrace sea kayaking as a lifestyle choice toward better health and happiness in such complete ways). Anyway, the wear on the axles was pretty bad.

If mine fits in the Nordkapp, yours should probably fit.
