Built myself a kayak cart out of a milkcrate on the cheap. consists of: a threaded steel rod, 2 pneumatic tires from harbor freight, a milkcrate, 2 pvc endcaps with 5/8" premade holes, 4 flat washers, and 2 bolts.
its pretty simple but effective. the bar is a little too long so i'm going to cut it to size soon but its not too obtrusive. wanted to use wingnuts for easier disassembly but i couldn't find any at the hardware store. going to ziptie a pool noodle to the top rails for support and a softer mounting point. pretty inexpensive and easy to make (about $25). willing to build some more if anyone wants to buy one. all in all its cheaper than what i've seen on the market and allows for quick break down and gear transport. let me know what you vets think.
thanks

You could have gone out and bought a high back seat and got rid of that POS Hobie seat.........that's what I did.

[Carp]

Tools needed
1/4 20 tap
#7 drill optional (just go slow w/tap as the hole is a bit tight)
1/4 pan head screw





On the underside of the ram mount there is a hole mine measured .198

Tap hole Using the 1/4 20 tap




You will end up with this

Which you then can use with a mighty mount
I do not have any geartrac but I'm sure it could work with it as well

It's not as pretty as a screwball but it's cheaper and still retains it's original purpose
