C-Tug Sandtrakz Wheels - Pair

Took this down to Destin last week. They worked a lot better than the old wheels in the sand. I was going to buy the hobie cart, but I already had a c-tug cart which is nice, but I hadn't used it in a while because I was disappointed in the performance in the sand. I've been using my friends hobie cart. Now that I got these wheels I'm happy. I can finally use my c-tug.

These wheel are very good. I just got back from a 2 week sea kayak tour on Central Coast of Canada. They can carry a fully loaded double kayak >300# down a sand or gravel beach into the water, but we needed to remove the big items, get the weight down to about 150#, to haul it up the beach unless the sand was very firm, or a paved ramp. Hauled fully loaded double >300# on and off the ferry. Homemade cart design, 1" aluminum axle. With single kayak about 130# they go over mud, branches, rocks; the best wheels I have tried. A year ago I had unsatisfactory results in sand or gravel with 3" wide x 10" diameter pneumatic tires and a loaded single kayak about 150#. These wheels work much better.

I was a little skeptical about how it would work on soft sand. WOW !!!!!!! It definitely works !!!!! I have a Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 10 and it is loaded with rods, fish finder , crate and everything else for a day of fishing. My kayak goes thru soft sand with not much effort now !!! I recommend these wheels with 5 stars !!!

These wheels are slightly wider and softer than wheels I had. It is somewhat easier to maneuver through sand but the sand in Northern Michigan and along the Great lakes is very soft so it is still difficult. Don't know how these would compare to balloon type wheels. They are better than what I had so I will stick with them.

I bought the C Tug for my Hobie Outback because the Hobie wheels were too expensive and the wheels had a rep for going flat. I like the C Tug. It assembles, breaks apart and stows easily. But the original smaller diameter wheels absolutely stink in soft sand. These new SandTrackz wheels are much better. They work exactly as advertised and that makes me happy. But I'm not happy about having to spend an extra $85 (for a total price of $225!) to bring my C Tug up to snuff - I think there should be a Sandtrakz equipped version of the C Tug at about $150 for the kayakers who have to slog their yaks over beaches to get to water.

Makes portage so easy! I am disabled and need moving my kayak to be as easy on me as possible. I had bought the C-Tug and it did a good job of making portage easier for me. Unfortunately the wheels didn't fit into my dry hatch. I put them under the netting on the back of my kayak. I quickly learned the wheels do NOT float because I made a good and capsized . Lost both wheels. That is when I found SandtrakZ! Wow what a difference in ease of transport! Putting the Ctug in the middle of my kayak it is effortless to portage! Now I can be more active!

One of the advantages of owning a Portabote is that it can be hand- launched anywhere, so I really wanted a set of all-terrain dolly wheels to enable me to launch from the wide gravel beaches found in many places here in Puget Sound. The wheels that came with the Portadolly work well enough on paved parking lots and concrete boat launches but had a nasty habit of sinking deeply into mud, sand and gravel, and proved equally obstinate when encountering obstacles such as small rocks and random pieces of driftwood. I looked at a number of low-pressure beach wheels available online, but they weren't rated for the weight of a fully loaded Portabote, and they were also on the expensive side. They were also meant for soft sand beaches such as you find in California or on the East Coast, and I was afraid the sharp barnacles we often encounter here on our beaches would make short work of them. Then I stumbled across the Sandtrakz and decided to give them a try. When the wheels arrived, I was delighted at their light weight and robust construction. I found I had to slightly modify my dolly axles so they were of the right diameter for the Sandtrakz; I did this by slipping an aluminum tube of the proper inside and outside diameter over the dolly axles. The next time I went fishing, I brought the Sandtrakz along. When I launched the boat it was high tide, so I didn't need to use the wheels then. But when I was done fishing, the tide was very low and the beach was now quite wide. I had to negotiate about 50 yards of beach, starting with soft mud, then sand and gravel, and finally barnacle-encrusted stones and driftwood. The wheels handled each of the terrains in turn without any difficulties, and in spite of the weight of my fully-loaded boat (absent the outboard motor). I couldn't be more pleased with my new all-terrain dolly wheels!
