Amazon.com Product Description
Love paddling in your local river, but hate lugging the canoe or kayak from your car to the water? Turn to the Paddleboy Nemo cart, which makes it a breeze for one person to tote boats as heavy as 250 pounds. Mimicking the Paddleboy Heavy Lifter cart in design and type of tire but built to carry less weight, the Nemo is a center cart, meaning it sits under the middle of your boat while you pull it from one end.
This allows the cart to manage most of the load, so you can tote heavier crafts without requiring assistance from a second person. In addition, the Nemo's 10-by-4-inch pneumatic tires detach easily thanks to the quick-release wheel system. Just push the button and the wheels slide right off--no cotter pins, no hassles. And users will love the Nemo's double-leg kickstand, which steadies the cart for easy loading and unloading.
 The Nemo cart pulls canoes or kayaks as heavy as 400 pounds. |
Other features include a powder-coated aluminum frame with a hammertone finish, an axle-free design, and a collapsible frame that conveniently disassembles into four pieces without tools. The Nemo measures 20 by 11 inches (W x H), weighs 8 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty. Paddleboy also sells a line of end carts, which manage less weight but are easier and quicker to load.
About Paddleboy
The very first Paddleboy cart was born out of pure selfish concern. In 1995, dedicated paddler Brian Witt struggled to transport his canoes and kayaks across the park and down to the water. As any paddler without a cart knows, this kind of lugging uses energy that should be reserved for paddling. Witt knew there had to be a better way, so he designed a prototype cart that became the essence of every canoe and kayak enthusiast's dream: less lugging and more paddling. Today, Paddleboy Designs--located in Seattle, Washington--is the only watercraft cart manufacturer to offer both end and center carts, as well as one of the most supportive, competent dealer networks in the country.
Product Description
The Nemo, built with an aluminum frame, carries up to 250 pounds. Like the Heavy Lifter, a double-leg kickstand folds out to steady the cart for loading. Easy to store, the Nemo breaks down into 4 parts for convenient hatch storage. The new Quick-Release Wheel System allows for quick, easy mounting and dismounting of wheels without the need for keeper pins.

tough lil bugger,

This review is from: Paddleboy Nemo Canoe & Kayak Cart (Sports)
I love this thing. The Saco River is about 2500 feet from where I camp so owning a kayak or canoe is a must. My kayak is light enough for me to just carry it to the water...but then I need to make at least one more trip for the rest of my gear. The gear I used the cart to transport consisted of my kayak (48lbs), my cooler (about 40lbs), and other assorted beach gear for my wife and 5 year old son to use on the beach such as chairs, beach toys, sunblock, towels, etc. that I'd estimate weighed about 15lbs all together. The terrain I used this on was approximately 5% pavement, 65% dirt/rocky/rooty trail, and 30% super soft beach sand. The pavement was a breeze. The trail was a little more difficult due to natures obstacles all over, but definitely manageable. The sand however, was a nightmare. Although I knew this was going to happen, I still was unprepared for the difficulty. I know this is not what the cart is meant for, but I'm just throwing it out there in the case that you are looking at this item and plan to use it on sand...at least not super soft sand anyways...the sand that was closer to the water was very easy to pull over because it was wet and packed down.Other reviewers on Amazon and other sites have noted that it did not come with tie down straps and mine did. So they either accidentally tossed them with the packaging, or Paddleboy fixed this problem. Another problem I read on another site was that the tires came deflated and there was "no pump in existence" that could fit onto the valve between the wheel spokes...this is also a farce. Although the tires did come completely deflated, if you just grab the valve with your fingers and spin the wheel a tiny little bit, the valve becomes more than sufficiently exposed to attach a hose of any sort. Lastly, a reviewer on Amazon wrote how if you disassembled the cart (popped the wheels off) it would soon break apart is also mistaken. Over the one weekend I used it, I disassembled/reassembled it 6 times with no problems. All in all, I've used the cart for purposes that it was never built to withstand, and worked fine...as far as the things it IS built for, I give it an A+.

USABLE,

This review is from: Paddleboy Nemo Canoe & Kayak Cart (Sports)
I found this product to be usable, but not very well built or designed. The bend in the cross members are not deep enough to accommodate the keel or either my canoe or my kayak. Therefore they sit crooked on top of the carrier. Also, with just the weight of either the canoe or kayak, the wheels bend inwards and sometimes rub on the framework. One of my wheels was crooked as well, apparently due to the hole being drilled through the frame being crooked. Regardless it is a back saver, very packable, and a great convenience. I would not portage a load over a trail with it however.

Paddleboy Nemo,

This review is from: Paddleboy Nemo Canoe & Kayak Cart (Sports)
This is a perfect cart for getting my canoe and gear from the car to the water, even for long hauls over dirt and bumpy trails--deep, soft sand, not quite so good but it will do. It comes with two straps but I find I need only one correctly placed strap to keep it secure.I would give the cart five stars if I used it just for the canoe, because I don't have to take it apart. When I occasionally use it for my kayak, I do take it apart to stow, and that is not as easy as it could be. It will pinch the heck out of your fingers if you're not careful.
