> I've been real happy with my XSL cart from Xstreamline. > http://www.xstreamline.com/kayak/a_cart.html It has held up to several years > of salt water exposure now. Plastic, aluminum or SS steel are all good enough for salt water. Wheels in XSL look suspiciously similar to those 10"x3" of Primex/Roleez, i.e. no bearings. OTH, their Heavy-Lifter has wheels like in Paddleboy Heavylifter - and they could have bearings. I'm using DIY cart similar to Xstreamline ATV (the easiest to make, just 2 T-shaped pieces and steel axle), with 8"x1.75" non-pneumatic, no-bearings $6 wheels from HomeDepot, and it's not salt water that bothers me, but much friction of wheel agains the axle when load is over 150 lbs. For parking-dock portages - no problemo, of course. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
