- I go over the newest scupper cart on the market. The YakAttack Scupper cart fixes the biggest issue that most every scupper cart out there causes. I cover why scupper carts can damage the hull of your kayak and why you should use extreme caution when considering them. #yakattack #kayakcart #kayakfishing #paddle #paddlesports #kayak
YakAttack has come out with some amazing products in just the last few years in the kayak industry and the kayak fishing industry. The definitely hit it out of the park with this one.

Bar Cart or Side Kick styles only! Scupper Carts are just asking for damage. My first YAK was a Lifetime Teton 100 with a Scupper Cart that setup was pure garbage. Sold the Teton 6 months later & gave away the Scupper Cart after modding it into a Bar Cart. Currently running a RVR119 & Wilderness Bar Cart. Never looking back.
Native side-kick or Boondox is the way to go IMO, These carts are a pain in the ass to use and store. Thanks for the info though. ✌
I still prefer the landing gear or bar cart. This design is much better than other scupper carts though.
Thanks for watching
Thoughts on using the Hobie Cart on a Hobie Quest 11? I’d like another opinion. I need to traverse my Hobie 35 yards to the water. Thanks.
At 47lbs you shouldn't have any issues. Even without reinforced scupper holes the weight will do a huge favor on the stress to the hull.
Great question
No
I sincerely believe that the ONLY problem that YakAttack needs to solve is the price of their products.
@2:14 you state that Hobie makes a scupper cart to use on the Hobie kayaks with their "reinforced" scuppers. This is all fine and dandy (maybe) until someone who owns the Hobie cart loans their cart to someone who doesn't have a Hobie kayak and it ends up ruining someone else's kayak... which is great for Hobie. Now the guy with the ruined kayak might go buy a Hobie... WIN-WIN for Hobie, right? WRONG! It is a simple answer, a big NO on the scupper cart! DON'T DO IT! What is it that people cannot understand about this?
Eventually the industry will recognize that there needs to be a viable solution for transporting kayaks to and from the shore that does not require a cumbersome cart to setup and tear down and stow. I GUARANTEE A simple low profile system which will be part of the kayak's design will be developed, it's just gonna take some time. Think bicycle kickstand, it's part of the bike, it's low profile and you don't need to carry extra equipment to park it. Listen, if they can invent amphibious automobiles they can incorporate a wheel system for a kayak!
Let me come back around to my YakAttack comment. Great product and for Americans we can feel proud that we purchased something made in "our country" but there are people in other countries who kayak as well. Should they only buy products made in their country? The bottom line here is the price. If it is cost prohibitive, we look for less expensive products. I rarely buy YakAttack products. If I can design my own mods with PVC or other materials I will do that before I spend a penny on YakAttack's inflated prices. If you want Americans to buy products made here, MAKE THEM AFFORDABLE!
Great channel! Love what you do. Been here from the beginning.
Keep in mind, low price and quality aren't always the same level
💯 agree
Buy once, cry once.
