I took my Solo out last Saturday to fish Zuniga jetty and launched from the beach next to the closed Shelter Island ramp. Pulling it across the parking lot, down the sand and into the water was super easy.
Pulling it back up the steep sand, over the sandstone berm and back to the truck was much more difficult, but after stopping several times to catch my breath wasn't much harder than pulling on a PA14 I guess.
The sand tires and the new struts worked flawlessly.
Now the only outstanding issue I have is when returning back to the beach, getting the wheels down and in place is a serious struggle doing it alone. I have an engineering solution in my mind - just have to obtain the materials and put it together for test...
Met CON KSO out there with his fly rod, but it was tough fishing on opening day of lobster season...
