I've been using the Wilderness systems cart for about 3 years and while it does appear sturdier than this YakAttack cart. This cart seems a lot more versatile and it definitely folds and stores easier and more compact than the Wilderness Systems cart.
I’d really need to have the need for space to consider this over my wildy cart. This looks like a lot of extra time putting the thing together and I’m pretty sure the wildy can be easily adjusted.
Mine came yesterday, and this thing is beefy! It's way heavier/ bigger than it looks on video and extremely stable with a kayak on it. I have a hobie lynx fully loaded with 100ah battery, trolling motor, power pole, fish finder, dewalt tough 2 drawer box, crate full of tackle and this makes it easy to launch / pull out of the water. The lynx has wide flat bottom and is extremely unstable side to side with the rails going up the middle, but this cart allows you to turn the rails sideways for all the stability. The rails are 44 inches long! You could be hammered drunk with one eye and still load a kayak with ease 😂. For me and my kayak setup it was well worth the money.
Almost picked this up for my new to me yak. Just can’t stomach the $250 right now. But it’s a nice looking unit for sure! Thanks for another great video Gene! Would love for you to teach me how to fish, but California and Georgia are very very far apart. 😢. Appreciate you and your videos though! Thank you!
How heavy is your kayak?? Cuz mine is pretty dang heavy and 12'7 ... I feel it's not far enough off the ground to clear the stern when bow is lifted high enough to avoid having to bend over and essentially drag your vessel.... so you could probably get a cart that would accommodate your needs for a good bit cheaper.. thanks for info on new gear though
People who aren't mechanically inclined or motivated gotta pay the price. But absolutely, you can make your own or dramatically improve a cheap cart with some PVC and a little ingenuity.
Thanks for the video. I could use more videos to help me inexpensively get to using my kayak more. Right now im car topping it on my Subaru Outback. I would like yo go the trailer route but not sure i am ready to invest a ton of money into a trailer yet. Thanks again for the videos.
Depending on other potential uses and needs.......I bought a utility trailer and put crossbars on it. I was able to justify the expense because I also needed a trailer for hauling yard junk and other misc. stuff. At the time I wouldn't have invested that much in a trailer strictly for Kayaking, but it fixed 2 issues at once (the need for a yak trailer and the need for a truck).
Yeah and notice how he used a much lighter, completely empty kayak to load on the cart. Also notice how it tried to roll away on him? Imagine trying to load a much heavier kayak on a slight incline, you'll be chasing the cart all over.
How well do those kickstands work? I'm short and therefore have short arms. I really struggle getting my yak on my existing cart when I'm on a steeper boat launch because it always rolls around, despite having a kickstand. Id those things hold it steady on an incline I'll be an owner.
Just got the c tug R, thing is a piece of junk. I put the hobie outback on it and it feels like it is going to fall apart. The bunks are set to the appropriate width but when you put the kayak on the cart they come loose. I’m going to return and buy this cart
Will they take a boondox landing gear setup in trade for their product?? Cuz I was not happy with it but not willing to spend another 300 just to discover it's not a good fit 😕 lol
I have seen before a lot of these kind of videos... ALL showing how easy is carry on a kayak OUTSIDE the water...but when is necessary to come out of the sea water and the waves are coming one after the other there is no time to make all these movements in order to assemble the cart....
@@XploreAz Do you have issues with the Wilderness on steep inclines (think concrete boat launches). My current cart wants to roll down the hill as I'm putting the yak on the cart. I'm deciding between the Wilderness and this Yak Attack.
@@bradyobrien9I use the wilderness cart and added a kickstand to mine for easier loading. Pro tip, use your paddle and put it behind the cart wheels to avoid the cart from rolling down the boat ramp.
Ease of carting my 100+ pound kayak is ultimately what keeps me from taking it out at all. It's been 3 years since I've fished from a kayak. Hanging the kayak from the ceiling of my garage doesn't help any. Though I'm sure that this cart, like Boonedox Landing Gear, is expensive enough to keep me from buying it. Anyone in CO wanna buy a kayak? 😅
Looking for one where I don't need to get waist deep in the water to prep before going back on land. Especially On the ocean it can be brutal. Narrow plastic tires are the worst on sand and noisy on pavement. So far it seems no one has made one to address this, not even close.
I bought it for my 2019 Native Titan 12... I could not get to center properly... too much work involved trying to load and unload my kayak... I'll stick to my Boondox landing gear... it's for sale now... it's the Tow n Stow Bunksyer...
geez my bar cart is also 450 lbs capacity all stainless steel wider wheels and 79 bucks yours is disgustingly expensive and made of plastic where's the logic?
That was an early prototype where tolerances weren't dialed in so the rails didn't fit tightly in their sockets. New ones will have the top rails actually slightly bowed up. This helps with making sure the rubber bunk pads make contact with the hull.
I have a C-tug with tractor wheels. First time it broke was 3 months after I got it. One wheel dropped into a shallow 3" hole in the launch parking lot. Broke the support/connecting plastic on one wheel axle. That was the KBF National Championship at Guntersville 2020. I repaired it with 2 part epoxy and it held until yesterday when it broke again, same place. I run an Old Town Big Water 132 PDL loaded it probably weighs 200 to 250 pounds with all my gear. Going to Mountain Road Trading Post this morning to look at and probably buy the Yak Attack cart. I'm done with the c-tug.
Wayyyy to much to stow. I have had Boonedox landing gear on 4 of my kayaks and would never take all this mess on my kayak. Kinda crazy to think anyone would even thing this is ok to make?
