I dont care who thought about it first - I need it!

Dragging my PA14 through the sand on a standard cart is a workout and a half!

I'm getting too old for that...

How are you supposed to load the kayak without turning it on it's side?

One person can remove the cart easily without tipping it to the side, just lift it from the stern and the cart will drop out. To put the cart on with out tipping it to the side you need 2 people.

Can someone help me find a dealer that carries this? I've even checked "Big Waters Edge" and can't find it to order. I can only find the Trax 2. THANKS!!!

Update; I called their phone #, got another number where Andy works and waiting for a call back. Looks like this cart is called the TRAX-2 30" or something like that. Can't find any reference to it anywhere else on the internet though.

Thanks for any info on this at all, especially from anyone who has one and how they like it.
Cheers!!

OEX Oceanside has them...

I'm sure Fastlane down on Mission Bay has them - if not they can get one there in a few days.

Thanks!

I found a place in Florida that has them in stock with only $6 shipping and no sales tax.

It's a shame that a product built in California can be shipped to Florida, then BACK to California and be cheaper than just buying it local here in CA.

I've been on the wrong side of that fends and it does suck.... We've had countless customers come in and waist hours of our time then turn around and buy from online vendors to save on the tax. Our tax laws are too slow to catch up to technology.

Just a word of advice, give the local guys a chance to price match online vendors. Just ask it wouldn’t offend them, especially if it’s the struggling mom and pop shops.

Any chance Hobie will give those of us that have already purchased the old carts and had to repair them because they broke a deal on the new carts? Ive had to weld the axle back in at the riser and had to straighten the axle out.

If you had not noticed, this site is provided by the good people at OEX/ KayakFishingSupplies.com. While it is nice to save a buck here and there, it can be better supporting those companies that support our sport. I am pretty sure that Florida company is not going to do anything for the members or the community here.
