Just would like to share my weekend project. I decided to build a cart for my kayak and ended up building two of them. First one was a trailtrekker copy from http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/477653-kayak-cart-crate-mod/ Most everything is similar except for that I used a 45 degree angle pvc fitting (took some time and muscle to put the hose through that, used soap lol) with eye bolt instead of a ring to strap it down for the purpose of flex wear and tear over time, we'll see how it works out. Also the post called for an aluminum axle which I tried at first but for my kayak the weight made it bend considerably and didn't work right, I replaced it with a steel axle and works great and not much more weight. Cost for this project was around $50 bucks.
Next is a copy from a post from http://palmettokayakfishing.blogspot.com/2011/04/diy-bulletproof-kayak-cart-build.html only difference here is I painted mine with black hammered color spray paint and looks amazing. If you decide to build this one do take note from that posting that the outer lock washer and nut are meant to be hand tightened so it can be taking apart in the field easy. Some people complained that the wheels wouldn't turn and that is because they tightened them down too much. Cost for this project was around $35 bucks. Both of these seem to work great so far with my WS Ride115x.
