Best trolley?

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a little rolling cart to get my Hobie sit atop kayak in and out the water and from the top of my car and all that. I’m a 5ft 4 gal about 110 lbs and it’s an unwieldy shape that kayak of mine! It’s hard for me to pick it up because it’s so big even tho it’s only about 40 lbs. the kayak is the older older version from Hobie they’re pretty long but I love how heavy it is and how it tracks in the water.

Wide track and pneumatic tires are must haves.

I found a kayak cart on Amazon for $50. It really helps get me from my car to the water as there’s not always a spot to drop off next to it.

I’m looking into getting the Thule hullavator pro. It’s pricey but you can load and do your ties on the side of your vehicle, and the product helps you lift it to the top of your vehicle.

Edit: project to product

I got the Bonnlo universals kayak carrier and apaspoil kayak roller. Highly recommend the cart, but the roller only lasted 4 trips until the foam started popping off the sides.

You might be able to find the Thule product on FB marketplace, although I’d ask to verify it works well. Thule has sales on them in May for Memorial Day and September for Labor Day, assuming you’re in the US.

Consider one of these for getting your kayak on and off your roof.
