Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart - Product Reviews

Return to Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart Product Details.

$159.00

In-stock: Ships Monday if ordered today!

Description: The Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart has a much higher capacity and tires with tread that are more rugged than the standard Hobie cart.

ACK Review: For any Hobie Kayak owner, this cart is a great investment to protect your kayak from the wear and tear that occurs from moving your kayaks across abrasive surfaces. I have two Hobie Kayaks, and the Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart is my cart of choice. The pneumatic wheels are ideal for both sandy beach entry or traversing rocky terrain. My Pro Angler is a beast of a kayak to get around, especially on rough terrain. Now that I am using the Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Cart, I can manage just about any terrain out there. The weight capacity of this cart is perfect for handling all my fishing gear, camping gear, and most important, my Yeti Tundra 35 Qt. Cooler fully loaded.

No reason to try after market carts, other name brands, etc. I fish out of a Hobie PA and it's pretty heavy, this cart works exceptionally well with this model, so lighter models will work even better!

Great purchase... works great with our 2 Revos. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because theyre a bit pricey. Cut 6 sections of pool noodles to allow us to store upside- down in scuppers while on the water without causing drag. A bit heavy, but for unpredictable terrain and the extra sturdiness, I suppose its worth the extra weight. Overall... were very happy we got them.

Best accessory ever! We took our kayak to Orca and Sucia Islands. Carted it all over and it worked great no matter what terrain we were in. You will never regret buying this Hobie cart.

Good cart, However, if you anticipate using in deep loose sand you want the model with the fat tires.

I strongly recommend this product after using this and several alternate carts. Other carts rusted and broke, or got flat tires that were expensive to replace, or were a nuisance to load and secure the kayak on. None of these problems are encountered with the Hobie HD Plug-in Kayak Cart; it is well designed and well constructed using quality materials. It is quick and easy to mount a Hobie kayak on the cart and the foam tires permit one to easily transport a Hobie over rough or sandy terrain, especially if the kayak is loaded with gear. As a bonus, the cart is compact and lightweight enough that it is easily stowed in or on the boat to be used for take-out at another landing point. The price is a bit high at first blush, but the construction and materials appear to be solid enough to expect extended use with limited corrosion from salt water immersion, so best to look at it as an investment in reducing the response costs of getting your boat from the car and into the water. ACK was a pleasure to do business with. The cart arrived on left coast within a couple of days of being ordered.

Works great on Western washington rocky, barnacled beaches. Much more stable than the failing/cracking PVC pipe aftermarket cart I had purchased previously, it's only been used a few times thus far but it appears to be a fantastic cart. Tires are perfect for the application.

Hi Everybody this is Rudy, I just bought a new 2011 Dune White AI from ACK and had to get The Hobie Heavy Duty Plug- in Cart. These tires (FLOAT) and are foam filled so you'll never have to worry about flat tires, or adding air. The cart can be disassembled less than a minute , REALLY ! My AI weight over 110 lbs fully loaded and this cart rolls smooth and the tires show no effect. Another great thing is , no straps needed to secure just plug-in GO no time wasted....... This cart is highly recommended I give it 5 stars and 2 Thumbs up , see ya OTW.

Works great with my 2 Hobie Revos. Not really worth $145 for what you get, but it does fit the Hobies really well. Would have 5 stars but mine got delivered without valve stem caps. Not a big deal at all , but for $145 ??

not much to say but -good quality - i feel it's a necessity - easy to get the kayak on and off. i like that the tires aren't inflatable - one less thing i would have to deal with. it just works well - get it.

Great cart ! ... My last kayak, i made a cart with PVC fittings but this one is heavy duty and high quality. I use for my AI and the knobby things that support the weight of the yak at the drain holes really helps supporting the weight and no deforming the bottom. Great tires.

This cart works great. I thought the wheels would be pneumatic, but they aren't; that means they won't deflate. Not only does this plug in cart fit my Hobie kayak, it also fits my Ocean Venus 11 kayak, which was totally unexpected and an added bonus.

I really like the heavy duty tires. They've gone over rocks and sand much better than the standard Hobie cart tires do. I was disappointed in the plastic supports that go on the posts. The plastic would just slide down the posts under the weight of the kayak. I tried additional tightening and it then stripped out the allen head so they must be made of pretty soft metal.

I had made a PVC cart that worked well, but needed constant repair. The Hobie cart is much lighter and more durable. I sometimes transport the cart with me when on trips. Weight is everything.

The cart works great. It goes over the sand fairly well. Can also be installed while yak is still in the water. This is harder to do with the wider tires. Well worth the money.
