Anyone have experience with a cart for a Ride 135. What is the best cart available. I bought a generic one and it doesn’t fit too well. Got a long dock I need to take it on.
I made one for my 135. PVC, a couple of 8" inflatable tires and some odds and ends cost me around $20. Works great. There are tons of plans on the net.

Bought one of these for my Malibu Stealth 12, $40 but it has worked great so far and nicely made…

That’s similar to the model I have, problem is it slips off because of the V shaped hull on the Ride. I see a couple models on eBay that may work better, just dont want to have to keep on buying until I find the right one.

This one worked well with my Ride. The standard ones never worked with the odd shaped hull. Between the V keel and 2 pontoons, the scupper mount is about the best. Maybe a custom made setup out of PVC would work like Dfreedom suggested. I liked the fact this one could be stored on the kayak.

Both of these, as well as the commercially-available options would be great. I try to DIY when I can…
Go see Dave at Time Out Sports too - I think he’s got some carts in stock that would work well with the Ride.
Forgot to say that mine comes apart easily an can be stowed in the hull.

There are alot of DIY plans on YouTube. Some are better than others, but I finally found one that works well for my 12’ Native Ultimate. It will stay under the hull on rough terrain & comes apart easily for storage while out.
Not a great DIY guy, so I’d like to buy one ready made. Thanks for all the input.
