Love kayaking in your local river, but hate lugging the canoe from your car to the water? Turn to the Paddleboy Fat Boy kayak cart, which makes it a breeze for one person to tote kayaks or canoes up to 200 pounds. The Fat Boy is an end cart, meaning you slip it under one end of the kayak while pulling from the other. The cart is a breeze to load: simply rest the kayak on the cart, clip the support hook into the combing, and you're ready to go.
The Fat Boy's removable wheels make it easy to store the cart in your kayak. |
Users will love the rugged 10-by-4-inch pneumatic tires, which roll smoothly over most terrain. And once you're done with the Fat Boy, it folds down into a compact footprint for easy transport and storage. You can even remove the tires in a flash and store the cart in the kayak itself.
Other features include a drawn, brite-anodized aluminum frame that measures an extra-wide 20 inches on the inside; upright tubing that extends from 12 to 18 inches; and a silver color. The Fat Boy cart measures 41 by 10 by 10 inches (W x H x D), weighs 9.5 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty. Paddleboy also sells a line of center carts, which manage more of the weight but are slower to load.
About Paddleboy
The very first Paddleboy cart was born out of pure selfish concern. In 1995, dedicated paddler Brian Witt struggled to transport his canoes and kayaks across the park and down to the water. As any paddler without a cart knows, this kind of lugging uses energy that should be reserved for paddling. Witt knew there had to be a better way, so he designed a prototype cart that became the essence of every canoe and kayak enthusiast's dream: less lugging and more paddling. Today, Paddleboy Designs--located in Seattle, Washington--is the only watercraft cart manufacturer to offer both end and center carts, as well as one of the most supportive, competent dealer networks in the country.
The Fat Boy has an extra-wide frame of 20" inner dimension, while upright tubing extends from 12" to 18". Store this cart by pulling a hairpin cotter to remove the 10" x 4" pneumatic tires and fold the frame. Fat Boy carts are ideal for canoes and wide kayaks up to 200 pounds.
