I just built the same one but couldn't find the jumbo pool noodles so I temporarily used pipe insulation till someone starts carrying the noodles. Where did you find them? its possible that I stole my sons pool noodle out of the pool toys.....maybe.

The larger the wheels, the better it works.
Take my word on this one.

I think I'm going to use schedule 80 PVC. Won't cost very much more and only ways a little more than sch 40. And, its a whole lot stronger than 40 too. When we replaced high pressure lines at work we always used sch 80 pipe for that. My yak doesn't weigh that much...its around 80 pounds, but for a heavier yak, I can definitely see using schedule 80. Might look at larger tires too.

Take my word on this one. Yep, agreed. And if I find that these aren't performing as well as I would like, its really simple to switch them out.

Nice! Like the beefy wheels. I had one with skinny wheels and my cart turned into a plow when passing over sand or gravel patches. Good one.
