    Default Heavy Duty Canoe/Kayak Cart


    I have researched heavy duty (made for portaging) canoe cart for a year or so. Didn’t really want to spend $200+ in a cart. Then it hit me last December that a game cart made for transporting deer out of the woods would work great. My in laws got it for me for Christmas and finally got to try it out the other day. My son and I used the cart to carry the boat and out gear several hundred yards down an old logging road to a creek. The large solid rubber tires and heavy duty frame was able to navigate uneven terrain and get over fallen trees. The only down side is the weight. It is made of steel and not really light. But they do fold up pretty compact. Just thought I would share the idea here in case someone else was looking into this.

    I like the larger wheels for sure!
    I think I would be tempted to use it as a recliner though!

    That cart looks to be a great solution. As you say, the downside is the weight, the design looks to be perfect.

    These carts are nice to use and you have space to store it while fishing. I have one that I made the handle sections to fit the bottom of my kayak then replaced the handles with the custom bent pieces. The weight does add to the kayak once you get to where you are going but it sure does make it easier to move your craft. I had planned to use it when fishing a lake that is two miles from the parking area but still have not gone back to fish the lake, that walk is a killer after fishing all day plus it is in the mountains but man what a great place to fish.

    Just a thought. At some point older wheelchairs are discarded. Maybe they could be found cheap, or free, and converted over, to use. Also older bicycles, could be converted.
