: Can you maybe just get bigger wheels for your existing cart?

Dale, I've always liked the looks of the Primex cart but, the contact area seemed too short to support a boat over rough stuff. I have heard of people carrying wood slats to lengthen the contact area for better support. Do you carry your triple on just the foam covered aluminum bars with the very narrow spacing between?
