Customers like the sturdiness of the kayak.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The cart assembles very easily, and the straps are of very good durable quality, the wheels and tires appear to be made from a very hard and durible but slick plastic, and I do wish the tires would have had a slightly tackier and rubbery material in order to provide some bump absorbing capabilities when going over rocks, curbs, roots, etc...
It's a good overall design, however, its design could easily be improved upon with very little effort and cost to the manufacturer in order to make this cart much more capable and compatible with more kayaks.
Here is the disappointing issue I had with it as it came;
As it comes, you're only given four cotter pin rods about 3" long with their pins, and small spacers to add to them in order to adjust the bunk height a very small amout for your kayak. The problem I had, even with the spacers added, the bunks still weren't high enough in order to provide any weight distribution support or horizontal swing prevention at all to the pads on the bunks. When a wheel would hit a rock or a tree root, the cart would turn in another direct as well as slide toward the back of the kayak even with the straps tightly secured because there wasn't enough friction resistance applied against all of the cart support pads. This was very disappointing, and I was almost going to return it before giving it some improvement considerations in order to fix this major issue.
On the bright side, this is an extremely easy problem to resolve for only a few bucks at a hardware store. It's just disappointing and irritating after spending so much.
I went to home Depot and it cost me a few bucks to get four bolts measuring 1/4" X 6" for replacing the four original cotter pin rods. Additionally, I also used roughly 13" of air line tubing I had laying around my work shop for putting the bolts through in certain areas as my own diy dampening spacers in key locations for lifting the bunks higher (four measuring 1 3/8" to raise the bunks and four measuring 1 3/4" to take up the dead space between the cart frame and the new bolt nuts.). I could have done this with 4" bolts, but at the price of gas right now I got what I got in order to cover all my options.
With this super easy mod, I'm thoroughly happy with this cart
now because it now utilizes all of the support pads for perfect weight distribution across all of the pads, horizontal stability, and slip prevention with the straps. It certainly would be nice if Malone would consider including addition rod lengths and spacers with this cart in order to easily accommodate more kayak designs, but as it comes with only the four cotter pin rods it's a major irritation and design undersight in which you may need to spend a few more bucks more in order to correct it. It is an easy fix.
I hope my details and photos will help you to maximize on the capabilities of this we'll made sturdy cart for your vessel.
I still gave it 5 stars across all categories simply because it's such an easy fix, and it honestly is a well made sturdy cart. It's just unfortunate and disappointing, and something that shouldn't occur after spending over $160 for the cart.
To Malone,
Come on guys. Get your act together please. This fix would barely cost you anything to include a few more additional low cost supplies in order to capitalize on the maximum capabilities of this sturdy well made cart. I like what you're doing as a company and your values, and I chose you because your made in America, but this type of undersight could easily catch you with your pants down and put your foreign and domestic competition ahead of you.

The cart is extremely well made. The large semi-cushioned tires should allow me to go through most terrain and I've no concerns that the cart will hold up to the weight.
It comes with a pair of really heavy duty cam buckle straps. On smooth terrain, I've (carefully) transported the kayaks without using the straps, however, they will come in handy on hills or rougher terrain. I prefer them over my Thule straps for lashing the Outback to my trailer.
On the downside, this isn't a compact cart that you can readily fold up and store in a hatch. It weighs roughly 15 pounds and it quite large. You might be able to strap it on your back deck but, again, it's a beast. Do your homework first if you intend to store it on your boat while you're fishing.
I debated whether to build a DIY cart from PVC. By the time I bought all the hardware, I'd have spent at least $40-50 and it probably would have failed in a year or two. For not a lot more money, I have a cart that will last for at least a decade.
It would be nice if they included 2 extra wheel retainer pins in case one gets lost.
