About to build my second
This is my third year using my cart. As I live in NJ, it has been repeatedly submerged in salt water and except for the Harbor Freight wheels beginning to rust, I have no complaints about the quality of this kit at all. My kayak is a wood Chesapeake 17, so not as light as a glassfibre or rotomolded kayak, yet it easily handles rolling my big and heavy kayak half a mile to the water. This cheap and cheerful cart has held up better than commercial carts costing 2 or 3 times more. Is there anything more anybody can ask for?
I am about to build a new one. This cart is a little wide for my kayak, so make sure you measure properly before following the directions blindly. The old one will be going under my Duck Punt, a small sailing boat from the UK. Yes, this cart is that sturdy, able to handle a small sailing punt that weighs a little over 100 pounds.

Makerpipe is a dream come true!
I purchased the kayak kit as an introduction to what makerpipe offers. It exceeds my expectations! As an electrician I spend plenty of time working with EMT, bending and installing it and I have always wanted a way to use it to build non-electrical projects. Welding isn't a great option with the galvanized surface and the other options I've seen don't look as sturdy or polished. Thanks makerpipe for being my enabler!
