  • From ‘We Need Backup’ to ‘I’ve Got This’—Kayak Transport, Solved
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
There was a time when moving our tandem kayak sailboat required coordination, negotiation, and possibly a motivational speech. Now? I casually roll it to the bay like I’m taking a Sunday stroll. This heavy-duty kayak cart is an absolute workhorse. What used to be a two-person, mildly dramatic operation is now a smooth, one-person glide. I load up the kayak, give it a gentle push, and off we go—no grunting, no awkward balancing act, no questioning my life choices halfway to the water. The build quality is exactly what you’d hope for when trusting something with your prized kayak. It feels solid, stable, and ready to handle the weight without even breaking a sweat (unlike me before this showed up). The wheels roll effortlessly over terrain that used to feel like an obstacle course—sand, uneven ground, you name it. And the ease of use? Beautifully simple. No complicated setup, no engineering degree required—just strap it in and roll like you’ve been doing this your whole life. If you’ve ever wrestled a kayak and lost, this cart is your redemption arc. One person, one trip, zero drama. Absolute bliss. ... show more

  • One of the best on the market! One of the best on the market!
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
My kayak is the Bonafide SS107 sit on top fishing kayak, weighing in at 67 lbs without gear and approaching around 95 - 100 fully loaded (fishfinder battery, seat, poles, rod, pole anchor, tackle box, etc). I initially purchased and used a Malone MPG504 Xpress Scupper-Style Kayak Cart (it broke at the frame during 1/2 mile hike along a trail - cheap aluminum and clearly not up to the weight. This cart is rated at 450 lbs. Assembly: simple half page of visual instructions but it helps if you are a bit of engineer to understand how it goes together properly. You may want to check YouTube for video help. There are only basic set of parts, so it took me about 25 minutes to get it going. Part of the deal is making sure the tubes are aligned to your kayak (mine is tri-hull design, and the support tubes fit perfectly because they are adjustable!). The cart has two levels, high and low. I built mine high but didn't get the impression there was more than a couple of inches between "low" and "high". Sturdiness: The material are well made. Once together, I loaded the kayak by dragging the front end to the front of the cart in the first picture (I saw a video review that showed this - ingenious), then pulled it up and over - the cart settled nicely in the middle of the cart. Next, you take the two cam straps and tie the kayak on. Cam straps are very long so they should cover everything. Note: I'm not a fan of cam straps - I like ratchet types but Wilderness Systems thoughtfully put a heavy piece of leather/cloth to avoid the metal scratching the yak. Performance: simply awesome. While my kayak was not loaded at 67 lbs, maneuvering this was a piece of cake. I took it all over my driveway then over my very thick lawn (small hills). I also liked how the wheels allow you to pivot circularly in place (makes it easy to move in any direction). I just hand tightened the cam straps but that worked out just fine with no slippage. I haven't yet tried a major hike yet, but am I convinced this puppy will do trick nicely. At 200 bucks, it's one of the costliest carts out there but you get what you pay for here. If you intend on any kind of heavy kayak hauling, make the the investment! ... show more

  • Using for 270lb Inflatable Dinghy, Happy with the results.
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
I did not buy this kayak cart for a kayak, I bought it for a BRIS BSA380 inflatable dinghy. The BRIS is 12.5' long and about 5' wide. With the two batteries and engine mounted, there's around 270lbs of weight on the stern where i put this cart under and it performed flawlessly. The long top tubes provide stability pulling from the bow. I used a couple 4 foot bungee cables to secure it as the straps are designed for a kayak, not something that's over 5 feet wide like my boat. The water was low so the boat ramp was exposed quite a bit with its deep traction grooves all the way down and the cart stayed secure and took the beating just fine. Pulling out of the water I took the gravel pathway instead and it performed equally well on that surface. Extremely happy with this cart. If it could have just one feature it would be some kind of cross bar that i could put my foot on while pulling and lifting the boat up onto the cart while at the same time pushing the car under. Then it would be even easier to load a heavy boat onto especially from in the water. Great product, will take a photo next outing for those also curious how it performs with a dinghy . ... show more

  • Works great with a Vibe 125 Shearwater
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
I have attempted using a couple of different cheaper ($40-$60) folding carts with my kayak. I often found the carts wouldn't stay in place and would also collapse or slide off in any kind of rougher terrain. I primarily fish different creeks and rivers that don't always have the best put in locations. This cart has truly been a champ at getting my kayak from the truck to the water. When I have all my gear on the kayak it is right around 100 pounds but with the cart just behind the center of the boat, it pulls with very little resistance. The assembly is pretty straight forward and it does store upside down in the rear of my kayak fine while leaving room for a medium dry bag and my lunch. Once the load rails are adjusted to the grooves in the bottom of the kayak's haul, you are able to pull the kayak around smooth ground without a strap with no issues. I still utilize the strap when going up/down hills or over rough ground. If you are in the market for a good kayak cart and have a heavier sit on top fishing kayak, don't waste your money trying the other ones and just start here. Also, before you use a post style scupper cart be sure to check with your manufacturer. Most kayaks warranty will not cover any damage caused by this style of cart and they can also be difficult to load. ... show more

  • Very Sturdy Great for heavy kayaks
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
Overall it's a great cart and much better than the WheelEz cart I was using before for my 110 lbs Vibe Shearwater 120. It's very sturdy, rolls easily, fits the kayak great with its adjustable bunks. The only con is that you have to lift the heavy kayak very high to get it onto the bunks since the bunks stick almost straight up in the air when the kayak is not on it. Some type of kick stand would have made this cart much easier to load the kayak onto the cart. Without that I have to lift the back of the kayak 4 ft off the ground to get it on the cart. After a full day on the water and with a fully loaded kayak that is not easy. I still recommend the cart for heavy kayaks but I may try to add my own DIY kick stand to it for better easy of loading. Wilderness Systems if you are listening, please consider adding some type of stand to your design. The cart is not inexpensive so it should have this feature already. Thanks. ... show more

  • Perfect for Native Titan 12
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
We have a Native Titan 12 and two 10.5's. We have used C-Tug and of course, the ever popular landing gears from Native and Boonedox. The Landing Gear is the easiest to pull in and deploy IN the water. This is because it is attached to the kayak (some heavier kayaks have had terrible failures because of this.) However, the landing gear angle coupled with how far back the wheels sit make the front of the kayak still a bit too heavy if you store anything in the front other than your Propel Drive. Forget it for the Titan 12. I had one set split the aluminum retainer tube, and when loaded the 12 is still just too heavy for the system. The C-Tug is impossibly frustrating with any of the Titan boats due to the concave hull shape. It slides everywhere even when strapped and needs heavy mods with pvc and foam to make it right for the Native Titan. C-Tug has good wheels, which we put on the landing gear anyway, but anyone of us who needs to use a C-Tug just groans. I think it is best left for light traditional non-fishing rigs. Today, I put together the WS HD Cart and tested it out on my Titan 12. Assembly was simple, I assembled it on the "high" setting. Because the bunks adjust from side to side, and have some length to them, I was able to get it to naturally fall perfectly into the hull of the Titan 12. I can already tell it is the most excellent design for this boat amongst carts for larger kayaks. Yes, there are no bearings in the wheels and that may eventually create an issue but I am handy and not worried about that. Maybe a few sprays with dry lube before heading out will help them last longer. Overall if you have a Titan, my advice would be to go with the landing gear if your trip to the water is short - like 50ft or less, and only then if you have a 10.5. If you have a 12 or longer - or a longer trip to the water - The Wilderness Systems HD cart is the one. Personally, after experiencing the cost and many trips with other systems, I would use it on any fishing kayak rig. ... show more

  • Fits my Perception Outlaw 11.5 Perfect.
Style: Flat-Free Wheels Size: 450 LB
It was extremely to assemble. No Directions are needed All you need to do it Look at it and its so easy. It fit my Perception Outlaw 11.5 perfect. The width adjustment is very easy. Just make sure if your Yak is not the same width they you know where you have the width set for for easy loading of your Yak into it. The ONLY thing I wish they had done was possibly install eyelets or something similar to fasten the tie down straps to. It would be much better for the price IF you didn't have to figure where to Tie your straps to it. a Slot or Loop welded on it would be much much better. I actually plan on Mounting a wide eyelet on each side for the straps to go threw instead of having to crawl down under the Yak and tie them to it. I have used it over some pretty rough ground sense getting it and Only drawback Is IF a rock big enough catch's one wheel it will turn over fairly easy or stop rolling on it. Have to MAKE SURE you use the Tie Downs on Rough hard ground to absorb the shock and vibrations. Yes I would purchase again and Yes I did recommend it to some of my Kayaking Friends. It is actually OVERPRICED for what it is BUT It is Very well made with Heavy Metal. ... show more
