Be careful when you guys use the term "two wheeled cart". I think I may have spoiled it for a few. The last time we went to Catalina a few weeks ago, mind you this was my first time there fishing. I brought my 3/2 wheeled pier cart. Well it is a monster. They almost sent me home without even letting me bring it on the boat. Hashem and his smoothe ways and my great looks, well ya know what I mean. We managed to get on the boat. But she specificly told me that I would be not getting this cart on again. So I am going to be figuring a smaller cart out myself. Of course, there is no need to bring so much stuff as I did on my last trip. I will be spending the night in a nice warm bed this time. Instead of being up all night chasing bugs around the pier with Hashem. Smile

Note: Just two wheels! You should have seen the look on the crews faces when we came strollin in.

My pier cart is one of those standard "granny style" grocery carts that you can buy for $20, with a bunch of PVC tubes attached. I've never had a problem with it, and I always roll it with all four wheelsd down. I guess just the fact that it's collapsible is good enough for them. I get plenty of stuff on it, especially if I hang extra 5 gallon buckets off the front and back with carabiners.

The coble stone style pavers on the Island are killer on those wheels.
The capacity is also limited with my standards.

Then again I always pack too much.

Hurry with your project Hashem. I'm dying to see what
it is going to look like.

I am anxious to see how it works too.

My package from Cabela’s came with a corner of the box torn.
All of the little hardware is missing. I am waiting to get those parts so I can put it together.

Then it would be my customizing R&D to get it functional the way like it to be.

Post and report to follow.
