Nemo boat cart

I have own one for at about 10 years and have transported kayaks and canoes alike with full loads on them. The best thing about cart is that it all comes apart easily with metal push buttons that slide into tubes to connect it together. After you take in apart it should fit easily into hatch on kayak. I am looking to buy another one but I am not sure if they still sell them.

I've had this for about 6 months and used it on every surface except fine sand. It works admirably well and can be had for a good price point (made in China, like 90% of everything else sold in the US nowadays). I'm only rating this an 8 of 10 because: There is grotesque rating inflation on this site (I appreciate the contributory forum very much...but come on, people! 10/10 isn't a rating, it's a "Booyah!"); you don't get a boat strap in the box; and it has one annoying aspect.

A boat strap would have been a nice addition. You do have to strap down your boat tight to go any distance - but that's the deal with any cart. Your typical roof rack strap is too long, so a nice "shortie" to match the cart would be good.

And the annoying aspect - the grease they use during factory assembly really stinks bad! I wiped off most of the offending stuff, but it was so potent I was smelling it through the shipping box. It also pervaded my car the first time or to I took it out with me. Note to manufacturer - use any cheap grease that doesn't stink so bad, there has to be one.

What a backsaver! It took a few tries to get the hang of securing my kayak to the Nemo. I use straps with cam buckles -- sometimes just one strap, two if the terrain is bumpy. It works great over everything I've come across so far. I've easily wheeled my kayak along lengthy parking lots, to and from sand spots up and over grass and sand-bag-lunky boat ramps. Haven't gone yet over a significant length of just grass or sand, but I'm guessing the Nemo would do well if the boat's well secured. I give the Nemo an 8 only because it took me a few tries, and some frustration, to figure out the best way to tie the kayak to it.
