This is the version with 12" tires. Also available in 16" balloon-tire cart click here. Width extender available (see below).
Strong, light, corrosion-proof, high ground clearance, big easy-rolling wheels, easy loading, easy folding, compact cart. Satisfaction guaranteed or return for refund. Don't waste your money on flimsy little carts with small wheels that get stuck on irregular ground, with solid axles that can't clear obstructions and no tongue to stabilize the cart underneath. Get this durable, versatile, portable dolly that's a pleasure to use.
Width = About 27" standard. Extensions available to make it wider (see below).
Two-wheeled canoe trolley with long tongue for superior stability. In many situations you won't even need the straps because boats sit stable and stick well to the rubber surface of the supports. Just plop the boat on and go. Made of anodized aluminum with stainless steel hardware. Huge ground clearance for rough terrain (no axle connecting the wheels!) Other sellers' solid axle carts have ground no greater than 1/2 of the wheel diameter (just 6" on a 12" wheel). Our cart has over 12" ground clearance! More than 16" clearance in balloon-tire model.
Folding: Crossbar snaps apart. Wheel struts fold against crossbar (that is, wheels fold up like airplane landing gear). Tongue telescopes to half length and snaps free of crossbar. Pads and wheels could also be removed, but usually not necessary.
"Thanks Jim, the cart came tonight. Easy to setup and very refreshing not to be cheap plastic. I look forward to getting my boat on it tomorrow.
Regards,
Jon R. " (buyer of this cart in August, 2010) Subsequent email:
"... and it works great. Totally does the trick. Great product- I'll buy the sailboat package sometime in the future."

Weight capacity is 250 lbs!
Loading: Lift up the front of your boat and swing it over above the cart, then just lower the boat onto the cart. When the bottom of the boat contacts the black pads on the cart's crossbar, it forces the cart into a level position and the tongue (the long bar that sticks out forward) automatically flips up and rests against the bottom of the boat. You pull on the boat, not the tongue.
Just wanted to say thanks for our new cart. My husband was thrilled beyond description with the quality and design. We will be sharing details about your business with our friends here in Sault Ste. Marie and will certainly highly recommend you.
Thanks again -- Lynn R.

Going: On smooth ground, you're ready to go as soon as you drop the boat on. For greater security on rough ground, secure the boat to the cart with straps (included). You just grab hold of the bow handle of your boat and pull or push easily to wherever you want to go.
High ground clearance allows you to use cart on rough terain.
Great kayak kart too.
Rowboats, pedalboats -- no problem!
Custom widths possible: see extender below or email Jim@sailboatstogo.com
Compact: Comes apart and folds in less than a minute to this handful of small pieces. Pop them into a small duffel bag (optional) and stow anywhere, even in the hold of your kayak (remove axle bolts). Or, just fold up wheels and remove tongue, and leave the rest assembled.

Versatile: Dolly works great with a Zodiac or other inflatable boat.
The bunkers (black rubber-topped boat supports on the crossbar) can be slid to any position and locked in place. Maximum spacing between the bunkers is 20 inches outside-to-outside. With 15-inch optional extension installed, 35 inches outside-to-outside. Top surface of bunkers is 2 inches above the crossbar and height is not adjustable.
Optional Extension snaps into middle (see below). Result: Wider cart with no loss of portability! With or without extension, cart is very strong.
