Storing the wilderness is also super easy for me when I take my salty out. I don't use the front bungies so flip the cart upside down, slide the rails under the bungies, and I am good to go. Loving the frequency of your uploads. :)

Great vid review and tips, love all your content. I purchased the Wilderness cart and very happy with it. Had the new Boonedox but decided against drilling as Hobie told me that kills their hull warranty. Also after 1 a year of use, a friend's kayak cracked 6" on each side and his install had HDPE plastic backing plates too! Upon returning their product, Boonedox charged me a 25% restock fee....and I paid freight of $70 round trip too! Boonedox will not list nor tell you that installing their product voids all manufacture's hull warranties.

Wife and I both have Wilderness heavy-duty carts for our autopilot 120s we were thinking of going to The Boondocks for the same reason you spoke of in the video and that is you have to lift it up to get the car underneath when you're coming out of the water that's the hardest part thanks for the video we're still undecided on getting the Boondocks

If you add a strap to the wilderness cart it makes it a lot easier to get it underneath while still in water.

You will need someone who is very handy and understands stress points to install the boondox correctly or you will destroy your kayaks. Also never transport the kayaks with the landing gear in the upwards position. The vibration will crack the aluminum holders. And never store the kayaks with the landing gear in use.

I currently have a Native Sidekick wheel system on my Slayer Propel now. I used it last year but I could never keep the brackets tight in my track system. They would loosen up constantly making it practically useless. So this year I am taking it off and using a regular strap cart.

With the boondox you just swap wheel assembly sides to have the wheels centered in the kayak. Nothing beats putting your landing gear on in the water and walking straight to the vehicle while people are fumbling around on the boat launch with carts and backing up trailers…lol

Would you mind doing a video on how you attach the wilderness cart when coming off of the water after fishing? That's one of the things I struggle with. I usually will take my battery and motor out to lighten my AP120 on the boat ramp, then load the kayak on the cart, and put my motor and battery back on which can be a pain. Also, do you have any suggestions when dealing with long, steep, boat ramps? I cartop and thought about driving the car down the ramp and unloading but I'm paranoid my kayak will slide off my roof rack after unstrapping it. Pulling the kayak up a super long steep ramp is freaking tiring haha. Thanks in advance!

How about a video of you loading your kayak on to the cart in the water would be very helpful to back up your claim. Seems like that's going to be very difficult. I will agree that balancing the load would be much easier to haul down to the ramp and back up.

I agree with your hundred percent! I had a Hobie PA14, fully loaded and had the heavy duty, Boondock landing gear. It was dreadful trying to handle down steep hills and in the sand without the special tires. My 14 foot old town is a breeze with the wilderness cart.

I installed the Boonedock system on my autopilot and it was sweet. But it eventually tore the spot where connected. I had to re plastic weld and then fiberglass the torn spot. But it made the drop from my truck to the launch effortless..

I can do the same thing. I load my kayak directly from my vehicle onto the cart and push the cart underneath at the ramp. I never pick up my kayak either plus I get the benefit of proper cart placement.

If you're using the high setting and adjust the bars they fit perfectly into the odd shaped Native Titan hull. I cannot speak for other Natives, but this is the perfect solution for the Titan. My son's and I have three of them and have been through every "quality" cart and wheel type - this is the one.

Actually I have a very easy method of doing this which I will show in a video on the Old Town channel. Be sure and subscribe to not miss out. Its easier than landing gear and you don't end up with the wheels in the wrong place permanently or have to void your warranty.
@BassManStrikes
@BassManStrikes Жыл бұрын
LOL, if the water is shallow you have to lift each side of the kayak and let one side lean with landing gear. If you add a kick stand you cab slide the kayak on the cart like a trailer if the water is deep enough. In the long term a cart is a way better choice but the key is to get one that fits the hull.
