Surf Cart

I was looking around the internet and found this surf cart. Looks nice, and expensive. But you can get them with Wheeleez. Just thought I would share.

I’m curious to see what ■■■■■■■■ I get on this, positive or negative. Besides the price it looks like a really nice cart.

Cool cart! All the upgrades that I would want. I think I would want to test it at that price too see the ease it would take to reattach to my hitch. I also wonder if I would be too lazy to take off the hitch connector from cart or if I would finally get sick of whacking my leg on it. Otherwise I agree with the guy who makes it that you get what you pay for. Thanks for sharing.

Calcutta I have the wheeleeze tires. They are extremely expensive, but very very good. I have gotten 3 hard seasons out of them thus far and pretty much look the same as when I bought them. They are tough and do not rust anywhere. They didn’t skimp on them at all, solid. They should last a very long time. The big cart paired with the wheeleeze is a " great" set up. It will not flip unless you fall off an elevated boardwalk after 40 Miller Lights, ooops :face_with_head_bandage: You can carry a huge load of stuff through the thickest of sand easily. Huge investment/for me worth every penny. The set up is huge, it wont fit through a door unless you stand it up and turn it sideways.

I have been eyeing the wheeleez for quite a while. I will probably get a set towards the end of winter. I’ve heard they are wonderful.

I have the same cart and love it. It works for those non-fishing beach days as well.

Billdozer - Have you taken that cart across any soft sand yet? If so how did those wheels perform in it?

Crabjack I have used both tires and the balloon ones are allot easier to pull heavy loads through thick sand. If you don’t need to pull heavy loads through thick sand, for a long distance, the standard tires that come with the cart work fine. The big cart with the ballon tires is huge and if that is the route you go, transferring the cart is something to consider. You either need a truck, big SUV, or you will need to buy the trailer hitch attachment as well. The ballon tires require an additional purchase of an axil kit if you don’t purchase one of the combo’s where everything is sold together like the one listed by calcutta. It starts to add up. The one listed above doesn’t look like it has the standard bait board/basket which is very useful. Gotta have somewhere to put your beer. If you have the capacity to transfer the huge cart, and need to lug a large payload through thick sand for long distances, the big cart and balloon tires are the way to go. They are very expensive, but for certain applications, for certain people, they are worth the cost. You just need to consider if you really will benefit from the upgrade and will be hauling a big load, a long way. The standard set up from Haddrel’s is sufficient for most people, for most applications, and the difference in cost is huge, much cheeper. The carts they sell are made in N.C. and are good quality. If you have a big vehicle or hitch attachment the big cart is much more stable than the medium one, can carry heavier loads, and has more rod holders. Hope this helps in you making your decision.

Thanks for the info Runbabyrun.
I do have a truck (F-150) so space shouldn’t be in issue. However, I am a tightwad so expense is a concern - lol. It seems like the standard wheels would be fine for the South Carolina beaches and for piers which is great for a majority of my shore bound fishing. The only time I would be in softer sand is when I meet up with my brother in Maryland. The beaches up there are soft but the load wouldn’t be too heavy. I’ve been contemplating purchasing a cart for a few years now. I didn’t want to spend the money but the older I get lugging my stuff down to the beach becomes more of a pain in the butt. Thanks again for the input.

That price is insane. I bought a gorilla cart for $70 and mounted 4 rod holders (PVC Pipe). total cost about $75. And I can use the gorilla cart on my lawn, which happens quite often. Highly recommended. Does just fine in the sand.

Not to hijack the thread but do yall have an opinion on 2 vs 4 wheel carts? Getting up there in years and the body balks at anything strenuous. Wondering about the lifting/pulling aspect of a 2 wheeler vs just the pulling of a 4 wheeler.

*THATS JUST MY OPINION, I MAY BE WRONG.
*HANG UP THE PHONE AND FISH!!

Bought mine from Cabelas. Less than $300 with orange balloon tires.
