Good question regarding the placement of the wheels. I actually plan to put my cooler (the heaviest item I will have) at the end past the wheels (axle which is the pivot point). This will help balance the load. The cart is actually not all that big, so I figure it wouldn't make a huge difference anyway. The other reason I put them where I did is so the cart will not become end heavy and want to stand up if too much weight were placed out past the wheels.

As for the plasti-dip I used on the rod holders. Only time will tell how long they will last. The stuff seems to have stuck pretty good, so I am expecting it to last for a long time.

My next beach cart is going to have a 12v motor and will revolutionize surf fishing???LOL

Thanks for all the comments and interest!!

Since you brought up the 12v motor I will tell u what I did. Two years ago I took one of my sons old power wheels toys with the big black wheels and motors and put it on an old red ryder wagon. I had to make an extended handle and wire the whole thing up to a three poled switch which gives it a 2.5 mph and 5 mph speed. (hi & lo). I need to take a picture of it an put it on here because people cant stopasking meabout it. It works great and I never have to pull it. On a hard surface it will out run you. In the soft sand the 5 mph will push it through anything. I already have my aluminum and am in the process of building it. If you can find one of these used powerwheel type toys at a great price u will be amazed at what they can do.
