Pat.... I'm calling my patent attorney.  You stole my design... although yours looks much nicer. :smt003
I came up with the same solution earlier this year to avoid hull denting between the scupper holes.  It definitely helps.

gonna go the PVC route (I think) I also have some copper pipe but I can see the tweakers lining up to steal it  :smt005

I need to run to harbor freight to get some cheap wheels. I have some golf cart ones but I don't think the hub is sturdy enough to hold the fully loaded AI

Eric... I've seen many PVC carts built and destroyed.  You're gonna need something super beef to support our heavy-ass AI's.

Nice work.

I bet a gardening knee pad would work well as the cradle pad.  Like $2 at WalMart.

Eric I checked the size and it is 11" center but I am 100% with Chuck you are going to need something beefy to support the weight. The Hobie carts are supper convenient for the launch ramp launches, a bit costly but well worth it protect your investment :smt006.

Here's my version. I originally welded a SS tubing frame. Then I sleeved the uprights with thinwall PVC, and capped the ends with chair leg protectors. Then I saw Pat's rig and I went and bought some plastic board from TAP, and fitted it over the uprights. Pat, when I talked to the gal at the shop, she suggested another plastic other than starboard. It is softer, almost oily feeling. She called it "selflubing" plastic. I liked it, because it feels much closer to the hardness of our boats (less wear I figure) but still provides contoured support. It's surface is also slick and not textured like starboard. Here's a pic of my "ultra cart"

Jonesz.... That looks like the PERFECT cart.  What did the stainless frame cost you to build?

Since we're on the subject of carts, Hobie just posted this new video on cart/wheel selection.  Note the cool "cart keeper" feature at the 2:20 mark of the video.  Looks like an easy DIY project for our existing carts.
