The wife and I hit the lake 2 or 3 days a week and now that I have a 8 month old, it is getting more and more difficult to get everything down to the boat. Our current "boat cart" had taken a beating, plus, the walk way gravel is deeper now and the dock board planks has caused the cart to flip over several times with it's little front wheels. So, what did we decide to do? Lift it, stretch the wheelbase, and wrap it with some bigger meats!

Old and busted:

Working on the front stretch kit. I went with about a 6" wheelbase stretch.

Custom coilovers up front too, I thought about triple bipass shocks, but opted out

All set, ready for beer, life jackets and wakeboard rope! I went LCOG with high speed carting in mind. We'll see how it does in the whoops
