Thanks.

My guess would be anything with wide wheels.

Yes...I would agree.

I'd really like to see some specific cart recommendations from folks that have experience using that particular cart on sand.

There is no substitute for the Wheeleez on sand.

I have a homemade PVC cart and I installed wide Power wheels tires from discarded toy jeep and they work great, floats over deep loose sand and leaves zipper marks to stump the chumps! LOL

I bought a pair of tires off ebay for $10,

My kayak started out with the small inflatable tires from HF which i figured would be good for sand- all they did was leave two grooves cut into the sand- so you need to go wide. I made my cart where the tires are just a bit wider than the kayak for stability offroad. Added two unions to be able to stow the kayak supports inline with the wheels to fit into my kayak. Also added two 90 deg fittings that fit into the scuppers so the kayak won't slide off while I'm towing it across the sand.

I have 3 yak haulers, and hands down the big Wheeleez is worth the money. It is the best on sand and hard pack. Never had a problem on either.

My buddy made his cart and used a set of left-over wheels from his golf-bag cart. Works pretty well.

deep sand cart

Wheeleze cart $140
Homemade cart with power wheel tires $40



Don't get me wrong I would love to have one of the wheeleze carts but it kinda goes along the lines of owning a yeti cooler... when I win the powerball lotto I'll get one. Heck I'll get a couple of young beach broads to drag the yak thru the deep sand for me.

how can you go wrong with this suggestion from Vinillagorilla? Looks great. I'd try it if I had a need.
