FF - Thank you for the information on building this cart. I'm going to build it today using your dimensions for a PA-14 and the tailgate height for my truck. My plan is to initially construct the cart using all screws to ensure that I make the cart level and plumb. Then I'll replace the screws with lag bolts while drilling the holes. Should be an easy job thanks to your great advice.

This is an interesting build... Similar to others on KZfaq that show PVC as the method of support. I was about to build one for my new Outback but decided to check with Hobie for their take on it. First I read my owner's manual and lo and behold there is a section on storage and transport and they have a diagram and describe this PVC method and strongly discourage it. As a matter of fact they say that if they're recommendations aren't followed it could void the warranty. I decided to follow up with a call to their corporate office in Oceanside to speak to a technical specialist. The person I talked to described this as a "tragic situation" . They explained that there had been a number of issues with cracks particularly around the scupper holes that they determine were caused from storage and transport on PVC bunks. They went on to explain that it would sometimes take a year or more for the cracks to develop. Long story short, they strongly recommend against it! Needless to say I'm looking for an alternative method.

Awsome cart. Thanks for sharing. I will be building one for my PA12.

Great looking cart. I hope I can take this idea and apply it to my Feel Free Lure II Tandem Kayak. Any comments that might help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the details.

Great cart. Thank you!

Did you use 4 inch lag bolts for the bottom wheel plate into the corner wood posts?

That is a damn nice cart..I just got the 5"casters and everything else to make this. Now that you've had your cart for a while is there anything that you would change on it for the better? Also one more question.. I use a truck bed extender that hooks into my hitch so should I use that instead of the bottom of the tailgate/truck bed??? Thanks

Thanks for this video.

That's l9oking really good

Great advice I need to really make this for mine! Thanks for the advice and just sub!

Nice job

I have the three Waters big fish 108 would I need bigger PVC pipe than 3 in????

Интересно ! Дружим лайк !

Nice cool info

how long were the lag bolts you used?

Pvc is too expensive ..$30 a pipe ... Use 2x4 with pool noodles on top. Use 2 together 2x4 fir posts for corners .. Those big posts are expensive now $35 each ..
