Kenny:

Do not buy the wheeleze cart.  Also do not wear your pfd or carry a vhf radio.  Always use old, 3lb mono when fishing for ling cod, and don't grease your drag washers.  Always try to go fishing alone in the ocean especially in remote areas, and don't ever, ever bring good food and cases of beer to the "fish and chills."

Dancing with newbies.....I thought we were playing beat up on the new guy :smt012

lol, in all honesty this topic has come up multiple times and literally the only thing universally agreed upon on this site is that wheeleze are the only option in carts, everything else is a waste of time and/or money.  You will be happy with the wheeleze  :smt001

Kenny get this cart instead of the c tug, I can assure you that those hard plastic wheels with their narrow width are going to be trouble on anything but a level paved ramp.
I have this same cheap Wheelies cart, and while it's caused he some headaches, it's worked OK if strapped solidly to the yak.
The trouble is when you finally get all your sh*t in your yak it becomes heavy and unstable and needs to have a good wide base to roll on.
Add to this sand, rocks, uneven ground, cruddy walking conditions and the whole load goes to hell in a handbasket fast. :smt002

I've used two of the smaller wheeleze carts. I wore out the foirst one after many years of beach launches. The only issue I ever had with them (other than they don't work as well in sand as the wider model) was that eventually sand works between the axle and the wheel and as the wheel turns it slowly grinds the aluminum axle tube away. After about 5 years of hard use the axle was ground through. I picked up a second one and still use it today if I need a stowable cart. If I know I'll be using it over deep sand or a wide beach i use the balloon tire model.
