Suspenz beach cart for Outback

Has anybody experience with the Suspenz beach trolley cart on the Outback? I’m wondering if they’re wide, sturdy and stable enough for it.
I’m so annoyed that I have to tear down everything and flip the boat on its side to slide in the Hobie wheels that I started to look for alternatives

This is *the* cart imho and it's on sale at a great price:  https://www.tackledirect.com/wheeleez-wz1-kcb-canoe-kayak-beach-cart.html?gQT=1
Not the Mini wheels as they aren't nearly as good: Wheeleez 30cm polyurethane wheels

Have you seen the bungee method for the Hobie wheels? Basically 2 eyelets on the top of your uprights. Bungee cord fed down through your scupper holes and hooked to said eyelets as cart is flat and kayak is resting on the wheels. Make bungee tight by attaching it to kayak. Lift kayak and bungee pulls cart uprights thru the scupper holes.

Might give it a try before buying a new cart.

Thanks for the pointer Al! What I don't understand from the picture is how the kayak is secured to the cart. Does it just sit on top or does it come with some cross straps?

As for the hobie wheels hack, I've seen some video, but still looked quite laborious to me, but given the price for a new cart, might be worth a shot 

I'm loving my YakAttack Scupper cart fwiw.

This is a good overview of it:

and a user video on an outback:

Going through the scupper holes eliminates the need for straps, and the kayak doesn't shift to the side and get unbalanced at times. Its posts come out whcih helps with loading / unloading the kayak on to the cart. and the top of the posts have "barbs" built in to them which expand / contract (to go through the holes or to prevent it from going through the holes), which also helps with loading / unloading. And the entire cart relatively quickly breaks down to a small size (you can easily snap the wheels off, switch between balloon or regular wheels, take the posts out, etc.).

Just my two cents, to the extent it's helpful.

You run a kayak tie down strap around one of the bars on one side over the top of your yak and around the same bar on the other side then connect and cinch the two ends on top.


Don't be fooled by others, get the one Al posted, I paid that same price over ten years ago and mine is still going strong. If you do this long in the end that's what your gonna get anyways!

Mine is 10 years old now, and it did come with straps.  I dont see them mentioned but they are essential to use the cart so I assume they are still included.  There is a picture of the straps on the site:

That's right they came with two really nice tie down straps, wore those out.

The balloon wheels do soft sand better than most all others. Another consideration is the weight of our kayaks these days with all the gear and then add your big pile of fish!

Some folks are not keen on suspending all that on two scupper holes - where there is often a seam and some ‘yaks have had issues in the past. JS

Thanks, the picture makes it quite clear.
Yeah, I can see that, with the crabbing gear the yak feels like a ton 
The YakAttack cart seems to help with that, but unless I missed something it would still require either the bungee hack or tilting the boat on its side.

Wow still has the little plastic feet on the kickstand, very few miles on that for sure!

This is indeed the bottom line.
