Frustrating and wish we could return
We purchased two of these carts based on the salesman recommendation. We were buying two Old Town 120 PDL’s and needed all the accessories. While everything else worked out good, the carts were a complete waste of money and very frustrating. I can’t comment on how they work with other kayaks, simply do not buy this for the Old Town’s. The issue is that opening on the bottom of the Old Town is 17” wide, the same distance as the two bars. The bars cannot go down into the hole, because as designed they are just a little two wide. They can be altered to drop in, but then the tires rub on the kayak. They work if they sit on the outside, however they tend to slip a little and even a millimetre, one side falls in the hole and the tire is again rubbing on the kayak. The only options seem to be to spend more money and try to modify the cart so it is more stable on the bottom of the kayak. But given the price, I hate to spend more money for an idea that may not work. Other option is to sell them used, cut my losses and move on, which isn’t great for a 2 month old item. Because they are used, they cannot be returned and only suggestion from the store was to use them farther back on the kayak. The problem there is it does not take the weight off of the kayak. Watching videos online the Old Town 120 PDL cart needs to sit approximately under the chair to really be effective. We also found that having them in the back the slippage issue still exists if the surface you are pulling on is not level or if you are required to turn. If buying an Old Town kayak, I suggest looking at other carts

Expedition Canoe Cart
I bought this cart for my Old Town Topwater 120 PDL. Unfortunately the bunks did not match my boat. I have since modified it with a longer axle. It is very robust and should be great on rough terrain.

Good, Solid Cart
I will give the whole truth. This is a solid cart. It had no trouble carrying our loaded 18.5' Sea Clipper in and out of the 2.5 km portage to Murtle Lake. This cart is very simple and easy to use. Does what it says on the box. This is an expensive piece of gear. I was amazed at it's simplicity and you could probably make this for less than a hundred bucks, a few tools and a trip to a good hardware store. I like how it breaks down and can be packed quite small. After you recover from the sticker shock, this cart will not disappoint.
