Originally posted by OhioNavyNukethanks for all the input! got it mostly put together but still need some pvc for rod holders and gonna screw on a piece of 1x6 on the front foot to spread the weight out on the sand when not in use. the handle is a pretty simple mechanism…door hinge to attach the cart to a 2x4 handle piece with a piece of knotted 3/8" rope to grab. gonna put a coat of paint on it to protect it a bit from salt spray and overall the base is 16"x36". big enough for a 5 gallon bucket, small cooler, and tackle bag but not heavy to lift into the truck either. also have it built right so i can flip it upside down in the truck but put all rods in a holder. after i finish it of course im gonna have to field test it in a short amount of time
absolutely! needs to be able to survive a field test and bear the weight of a cooler full of fresh catch
aside from putting a coat of paint on it my cart is now finished. theres definitely some redneck engineered features that were added as i was building but it held 180lbs of me and didnt break so it should work out just fine. i was planning on 6 rod holders but had a bit extra pvc so i stuck what was left on the back. havent taken it to the beach yet but this product has in fact been tested on lazy animals too.

Best looking little ‘pup-pup’ I have ever seen on a fishing cart.
Sure hope you appreciate the compliment.
You may wish to put a brace from the wheels to mid-cart.
Beach carting can get pretty rough sometimes.

ha i dunno how well a pug would do at chasing pigs since his sprint is a fast walk for me but only one way to find out just how good he is he wont however suffer the cruelty of dozens of different outfits that poor roo puts on. cant steal pennys thunder!
sternline: i tried it on a pier once so far and held up fine but an extra brace wouldnt be a bad idea at all.
Nice job Nuke. I agree that something needs to be done to support those back legs.
Perhaps some conduit flattened out on the ends with a couple screws.
