It works...
By CETVerified Reviewer from Groton, Mass on 7/27/2008
Pros:
Easy To Attach, Reduces Fatigue
Cons:
Potential design weakness
Best Uses:
Recreational Paddlers
Describe Yourself:
Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wife and I each have one, one for her 12"Dirigo and one for my 12" Pungo. We've used them to bring our kayaks up and down to the lake to our dock - Involves about 800' of driveway & road asphalt and about 250' of woodland trail some part of both involve steep little hills to drag the boats up/down...

The Molly Cart is easy to set-up under the boat and even though the boats seem to shift to sit on one side or the other - it's stable enough to pull around ok.

There is something about the strap and hook that attaches to the cockpit lip that seems a bit flimsy. I can see how it could get broken if it where not worked on & off the lip carefully. I wonder how long the plastic hook part of it will last (see earlier review).

The wheels work better for asphalt than for the wooded trails - Might want to go for a dolly with air filled wheels/tires if you have woodland paths to put your kayay with.

Eastern Mountain Sports Response:Great review...thanks!

Might be good for a kayak..not a canoe!
By JohnboyVerified Reviewer from Danbury, Connecticut on 6/3/2008
Cons:
Difficult To Attach
Describe Yourself:
Beginner
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Paddleboy website said the Molly cart was able to portage a canoe. My 15.5 ft canoe was very difficult to attach and balance on the cart. The hook that attaches the cart had a very short strap; in fact the hook broke when I tested the cart out tooling around my yard! What attracted me to this cart was the price. I would say this cart would be ideal for a smaller one person kayak.

Kayak cart

Pros:
Adjusts easily, Cleans Easily, Dries Easily, Good Waterproofing, Lightweight, Rugged

This is a good product, smooth rolling, adjusts easily to any kayak. Does the job. However, not as compact as you think. Fits in rear hatch, but can't close.
