I have the Pacific Ocean and 2 fishable creeks within a 1/8th of a mile walking distance from home. Terrain varries from rocky to full on sand. I would have to secure the cart in or to the mini-X. Anyone know the best cart for the money?  ???

Thanks again. -wetwhopper  ^-^

Wheel-EZ hands down. It's pricey but you can get a deal if we all buy one. This cart is a necessity if you have to cross any soft surface. For the 5 months I've had mine I'd highly recommend it. You could go the cheap route but you'll pay for it in the end. I had a piece o'crap Hobie cart that exploded and left me stranded 1/4 mile from my car after a loooong day. IMO NOT-WORTH-IT.

Ditto what Z said. 

You can make your own cart from a couple $10 wheels and some PVC, but it will never work as well as the wheeleze carts and you'll just end up buying a wheeleze in the end anyway.

I have seen so many carts break ...

I don't have one yet, but a Wheelez is in my future, definitely before we hit Sombrio again.  I've been nothing but impressed with what I've seen.  That being said, I'll probably have a perfectly functional Seattle Sports cart (http://store.seattlesportsco.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=22&idproduct=161) available when I upgrade.

How do we go about getting a "group" or club deal on the wheelez cart?

Would you go with the big fat tires?

Where do you store the cart when you are under way?

Thanks. -Wetwhopper

Wheeleze makes several sizes of tires, two of which come in a kayak cart.  You'll want the kayak cart with the larger tires, i.e. you want the Wheeleez "kayak cart-beach". 

It's the second one listed on the following page.

The "kayak cart-mini" might work too, but it's really built for lighter and narrower sea kayaks.
