Hobie cart recommendation
Which cart... Trax 2 with big soft wheels or hard wheels do you recommend... or is a homemade one just as good and much cheaper

Which Hobie? I have both Hobie carts for the Pro Angler, but I find the Trax with the Wheeleze soft tires a bit too low and the yak a bit too heavy. They're great for soft sand, but I find if I need the cart, I use the one with the taller harder wheels more. I trailer the Pro Angler though, so I don't need it a lot.

A lot of guys have trouble with the soft rolleez tires. They don't seem to last long and are expensive to replace. I now use the hobie Trax2 with the hard wheels and they work good. Don't get the trax1 cart it is too narrow and always wants to roll over. I also put a piece of pool noodle over the uprights to get the kayak up off the wheels a little and also for when I put the cart in the scupper holes for transport on the water they don't stick out the bottom.

I have soft wheels for my hobie and have no complaints.. i can wheel it 2 blocks form my house and go for a paddle no problem. Id much rather have soft wheels going over any sort of terrain than hard wheels...
