Steve, that's good to hear, because the photos shown of the XSL look absolutly indistingushable from my Paddleboy cart - I'm guessing that Paddleboy may make them to be sold under the Xstreamline name. BTY, the axles of the Paddleboy (and, it appears, the XSL) are essentially thick screws. I was thinking of finding a spare stainless screw of appropriate size at my local marine store and adding it to my field repair kit. (I pride myself on being able to McGyver work-arounds in field repairs, but it's hard to imagine I could whittle an effective screw outta driftwood:-) 

Overkill to carry such a spare, do you think? Have you used your cart with a loaded boat and/or on rougher portages? 

Philip
