jediangler Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Step #1: Buy a used tricycle from Kijiji for #12. Try and get one with wheels that match the colour of your kayak . Step #2: Collect a few broken hockey sticks. I used 3 graphite and 1 wooden stick and copied the paddleboy design as it works well with the unusual hull design of my Ultimate kayak. Step #3: I used less than $5 worth of hardware to put it all together so total cost was under $20. I installed the wheels on the inside of the cart frame to keep a slimmer profile when the cart is on the back of the yak. This is how it will look on the water. I still have to add some pool noodle pieces to the contact points, to prevent scratching, and a bungee cord to hold it in place.

Mykester Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 You're a bugger, your kids must have been so happy to see that they got a new trike, and you sawed it in half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
