Works great, the big wheels work well on soft surfaces. Seems pretty simple for $185 but definitely make moving the kayak a lot easier.

Great product well worth the money. If you have any distance to get your yak in the water this is what you need. The older I get the more help I need.

would not order this product again. Wheels make lound clicking noise on rotatation with the weight of the PA on them. Customer service at ACK was excellent and they contacted manufacturer to get issue resolved. suppose to be sending new hubs to fix issue. Should have spent 1/2 on standard cart or waited for HDxart to be available.

Works as advertised - great on sandy beach area and on heavy large rocky areas of shoreline. Handled heavy loads easily. Highly recommend for all Hobie owners. (Note - unable to use for our other sit-upon kayak due to difference in width between holes)

Cost a lot more than I wanted to pay, but works awesome. I am using it with a Hobie Outfitter 2 person fishing kayak which is really awkward to carry. It is much easier to move it around with this cart by only one person than with two people carrying.

You have to get this if you have a Hobie Pro Angler. The newer tires are great and handle the boat well loaded up with gear. Scupper hole storage on rear deck while out on the water is a big plus. I'm so glad I bought this cart when I bought the PA.

Our Hobie Trax 2 Kayak Cart was shipped quickly and was exactly what my husband wanted. Haven't used yet, but materials seem durable and it appears to be well made.

The Hobie Trax 2 Kayak Cart is a must have. Easy one-person handling. Fat tires easily travel parking lot, curbs, and sand.

These carts are poorly made, which is upsetting because they are so expensive. Ive had to warranty two. The wheeleez wheels are VERY difficult to inflate because the valves are recessed why????, and the valves themselves are prone to break and not keep air. This happened to me twice. The wheels are also too small for soft sand. I really cant see why they cant make them bigger. But the worst part about this cart is the welds. Ive broken the welds THREE times. So poorly welded. Once those welds go, the cart is done. Ive only had one cart make it past a year. The only reason I give it two stars is because there is really no other option for the hobie outback. I have tried various cradle- cart options. They were all so difficult to use that they actually made me miss this cart, which I finally went back to.

Really handy to have. tires have held up well. We have dinged the top of the caddy a bit and lost a plastic cap. Dont leave home without it.

A must have item. I was moving the kayak from the water to my campsite daily with no problems. I received a lot of positive comments from others about the ease of use. ACK delivery was on time. Overall a very positive transaction.

Floats well across sand carrying a Hobie Adventure Island, fully rigged and loaded. Set the post collar clamps as high as possible as the back of the kayak rides low and hits when pulling it by hand. The tires float so well you can barely get the cradle out from under the kayak while it is in the water. Hobie comes to the rescue with the quick release wheel hub. You can quickly take each wheel off or put it back on the cradle while it is underwater, just dont let the cradle sink while the wheels are off. Keep the cradle pin in place until you can hold the cradle while you pull the pin. The wheels will fit in kayak hatch but the cradle wont fit. It would if the center support was adjustable, which would also fit other kayaks but Ive used adjustable cradles and they wobble around too much for me. I just strap the cradle on the back with my other gear if I need to use it on the trip. Dont leave your cart or Hobie peddles unattended unless they are locked to the kayak. Both items have a tendency to disappear easily.

THe cart is solid, well built, well worth the money. ACK was the way to go. Fast shipping great service. If youre thinking of buying a cart for a SOT this is it! If youre thinking of buying from anywhere else dont ACK is the place to get it..

Good product, though a bit pricey. Mounting brackets don't fit the kayak as snug as I'd expect. The tubing is steel, but ACK still managed to dent it, either in shipping or prior to. Not so bad that it's non-functional though.

This is a must when moving around the kayak because they aren't light. This is easy to use and very durable.

The Hobie Trax 2 cart is a necessity for sot kayak owners who launch from the beach- the fat tires do not sink into the mud or sand and roll easily over soft ground and loose sand- it is a sturdy stainless steel cart.

I couldn't have made it without the Hobie Trax 2 kayak cart. It will get your boat to the water and back with ease. This is a definite must have!

I bought these for my two Adventure Island conversion. They would have been nice for my Adventures which managed to fall over once in a while and were to say the least "difficult" in sand, but the Trax are a necessity for the AI due to it's larger size. The first Trax came with a little bag of plastic "shavings" (it's around here somewhere!) I've come to believe it might be for melting into a hole repair. The second Trax didn't have that "repair kit". I expect I'll order a spare tire because the tires have the consistency of an inner tube. To save you some time in mounting the two brackets for an AI, I'd set them at the highest level which I found to be about 15 1/2 inches off the ground (measured to the top of the bracket). The AI needs all the clearance it can get.
