I'm planning on day-tripping out Saturday the 13th.

My Dad went to go check it out and I guess the kayak is chained to some of the drift wood.

So someone is claiming ownership (but still can't figure out how to retrieve it).

Hope the owner is ok. I reached out to my Dad to see if anyone knows something about it, he's local up there.

This gives me some ideas too

I like this one quite a bit! Now my fish grips can run triple duty as a fish gripper, a kickstand for my cart and now a descender.

I might hit the green trails at Hollister OHV on Saturday.

I wonder if my KDX still starts... it's been a while.

I'll run it by the wifey, see if we can make a weekend of it.

yeah the c-tugs do not play well at all with old town sportsmans. I have that WS heavy duty balloon tire cart now for the sportsman and it works well.

It can break down pretty small, the wheels and wheel axles are just some quick clips, but the main frame takes a touch longer with four wingnuts and a very snug fit. the c-tug breaks down much faster.

I don't think it'd be an issue with a hobie, but the bigger diameter balloon tires do run into clearance issues for some. Navarre makes a riser kit, or you can just run the cart wider and not have the kayak sit at the deepest part of the hull channels.

WS is much bigger than the C-Tug. I tank-well it and strapped on some rod holders.

I have a c-tug with sand wheels if you want to give it a try. It's a different approach than balloon tires, but it should still give some extra surface area to ride above sand.

I'm not sure how well it interfaces with a hobie with the stock pads, but they have released a new C-Tug R which has a bunch of promo photos featuring hobie.

Build quality has been good, I like how quickly it breaks down and how easily it can be stored in the hull.
