Since the original PKF DIY kayak cart instructions went over so well, I decided to up the ante and construct an improved cart with a rigid metal frame. The 2012 Ride 135 has a unique pontoon-style hull which makes it difficult to find a commercially available cart that fits it well.
To start, the cart needed to be extremely rugged. While I have not had any failures with the PVC cart linked above, I wanted to focus on increasing rigidity and strength. Low weight and aesthetics were also high on the list. The parts used in the build also needed to be available locally to make it easier for other folks to replicate the design. Lastly, the cart had to be easy to assemble and break down. While I am still working on a few more tweaks, this build is almost finished.
Here is a preview -full instructions should be up this week. Have a great weekend!
