Hobie standard cart on sand? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The wheelez dont insert in the scupper holes. The weight of the yak is enough to hold it in place. I never strap down my yak when on the wheelz. I did make my own rails for it though.

I have not used my new Wheelez cart yet but even going through rough terrain you dont have to strap the kayak on? Looking at the straps I know they will be way too long, I was going to look for some appropriately sized bungee cords to speed up the strapping process.

If you are going over a rocky area you would need to strap it down. If you are hauling off/on a curb onto sand you should not need to, but you never know, your yak might be lighter than my Outback.

Same here, I never strap the wheels to the kayak. However, having the crossbars on the cart help out tremendously.

There is no doubt that the scupper holds well but having to turn the kayak sideways to get the wheels in/out is something I'd hate to do each time I launch/land.

wow. thanks for all the input guys. I bought my yak WITH the standard Hobie cart included, so I'd like to use it. Perhaps I will get the wheeleez separately.

Does anyone know if THESE wheels will work with my Hobie cart? the price is right for the pair.

I think any beach tire is going to be too wide for the standard Hobie cart, I used to have the Heavy Duty cart and I was looking to do the same thing.

Call wheelez give them the dimensions of your axle and they can match you with compatible wheel sets. That's what I did. Go with the polyurethane if possible

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I wanted to comment and let you all know that I just purchased the Hobie Trax 2-30 off of CL. WOW, what a difference in traversing over sand. I HIGHLY recommend these over the sand, what a breeze it was to use. They ARE big though. when inserted in the scuppers behind my outback seat, my shoulders almost rested on them, at the very least touched the gigantor wheeleez.

Thanks for all your input guys, I feel like this is money well spent.
