Cart policy for this hull

Platform or bunk cart only

The heaviest boat in this database at 67.4 kg rigged. Wide-stance platform cart only.

Manufacturer position on scupper carts

Hobie state cart damage to scuppers is not a warranty issue.

Mfr confirmed— evidence level: The figure or fit statement is published by the manufacturer of the kayak or the cart, in their own documentation, spec sheet or support channel.

Hull shape and cart contact

Cross-section of the pontoon / catamaran (twin sponson) hull of the Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 360XR, showing where it would contact a flat cart pad Flat pad reference plane
Twin sponsons carry the load well outboard of the centreline. Orange marks where the hull would meet a flat pad. Illustrative shape diagram, not a scale drawing — no dimension can be read from it.

Pontoon / catamaran (twin sponson)

The load sits on two sponsons well outboard of the centreline, so a cart has to be wide enough to meet both. A narrow cart contacts the tunnel between them and the boat becomes unstable.

As with the standard PA14, dimensions are unpublished and irrelevant to the recommendation — this hull is too heavy for scupper posts.

Where a cart cannot sit

Fittings that constrain cart placement on this hull. Position around these, not over them.

  • MirageDrive 360 well — a large mid-hull opening with a steerable drive below it.
  • The 360 drive assembly projects further below the hull than a standard MirageDrive.
  • Kick-up rudder at the stern.

Carts assessed against this kayak

Evaluated on hard-packed ground with no gear aboard. That is a generous baseline — add a loaded tackle crate and a battery in the finder and the picture changes.

    • This margin is calculated against 181 kg (400 lb), the lowest of several conflicting published figures. Confirm the rating printed on the cart you actually buy.

    Kayak Cart Mini

    Not recommended

    67.4 kg against a 55 kg planning capacity — 123%, exceeds rating.

    • Your load of 67.4 kg (149 lb) is over this cart's 55 kg (121 lb) rating.
    • This cart's contact pads suit flatter hulls. Your pontoon hull will want to roll on it.

  • Railblaza

    C-Tug

    Not enough data

    Load margin cannot be calculated — see the cart record.

    • Published capacity for the Railblaza C-Tug is contradictory, so we will not compute a load margin from a number we do not trust.
    • The pads are flat. Under a rounded or displacement hull the boat contacts a narrow strip rather than sitting in a cradle, so it wants to roll and the strap becomes the only thing holding alignment. Owners regularly add foam or a shaped cradle to fix this.
