Today I just blew out my second home-made PVC plug in cart that I built for my Hobie Outback and had to hoof my boat on my head about 50 yards uphill. I really don't want to do that again.
Anyone have any good recommendations on stronger home made carts (not PVC) or cheap(er) manufactured carts? I saw a nice looking plug in cart from Seattle Sports on Amazon for about $110, but it didn't get great reviews, and that price still seems really high for three pieces of tube and two wheels. There was a similar cart likely produced from the same company available from West Marine. Would really like to avoid paying $200 for a Hobie brand cart - that price is just crazy.
Thanks in advance!

Copper water pipes instead of pvc!

Ask INSAYN. He built the best DIY scupper cart I've yet seen and I think he may still be using it.

I would say just pay out the $200 for the Hobie cart which is solid built and with good sand tires and consider it a cost of doing business. It was hard for me to pay out that much but I have no regrets.

A jogging stroller makes a great cart. 12" bicycle wheels. 1st one, no cutting, just drill a few rivets and reconfigure. Currently working on strap-on model for canoe.
