I finally bought a kayak the other day. I have been looking at getting a cart but not sure if one is better than the others since they are all built basically the same. I picked up a barely used Stealth 14 and after carrying it to the water twice already I’m pretty sure I'm gonna need a cart.

That's what I did and it works well. If you want to buy one APT in Hurst carries some nice carts. Congrats on the new kayak and welcome to the forum.

C-Tug cart is probably the best cart out there, imo. I've seen guys stack 2 and 3 kayaks on top of each other. All they did is strap them down and they were ready to go.

Mariner Sails has C-Tugs in stock as well as several other carts (from Harmony & Hobie) that would be a great match for your Stealth 14. We can even pull down a Stealth from the warehouse to confirm the best fit. Please drop by the store to check them out!

I've had several carts over the years and I have just settled on driving up to the water and unloading. almost every body of water I fish has a boat ramp somewhere...

Anybody have any experience with this style cart? I like the simplicity. Any opinions?

I have a Seatle Sport cart that I purchased from ACK with one of their 20% coupons. I don't like scupper carts, because you have to turn the yak on its side to install them in the scuppers. That creates problems when your yak is loaded down with all your gear.

Just like the one I built, works great and can easy be taken apart for storage.

You can get the wheels and tires at Harbor Frieght for 10 each.
