**EASY** Getting your HOBIE PA on/off the WATER! (Boone Dox Landing Gear)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- I recently upgraded my trailer for my Hobie Pro Angler 14 from an old motorcycle trailer I had. I mounted a truck tool box on it for my kayak accessories and to clear up space in my van when traveling Texas for tournaments. In doing so, I can no longer launch my kayak like a boat from my trailer like I did in the past with my harbor freight trailer. So I decided to purchase the Boone DOX landing gear wheel cart system.
See link here for the first video about the landing gear.
• Boone Dox Landing Gear...
Were to buy: www.austinkayak...
Pros:
1.I no longer need to lift my kayak up to insert the wheel cart. Each wheel is independent of each other and can be attached to each side with kayak level on ground.
2. Made much stronger and more durable. Looks great!
3. System is mounted to kayak on the sides instead of up through the scuppers. Less chance of damaging the kayak and causing potential leaks.
4. Additional place to mount accessories both on the T-nut system and 1" round bar.
5. Wheels can be inserted while you're in the kayak making getting off the water much quicker and easier.
6. Kayak is MUCH easier to transport around even when fully loaded.
Cons:
1. Expensive
2. Heavy
3. The hardware always stay's on your kayak.
Overall I'm very pleased with this upgrade. It has made launching and docking my kayak very easy!
Here's an old video of me launching my kayak on my older Harbor Freight kayak trailer.

I don't have one but those Hobie boats are super heavy. Looks great!
Crawyakker Thanks!
Really great product review BBT, going to get one of these for sure. Will make life a lot easier. Good luck at Somerville next week. Wish I could've joined you guys!
Crocodile dundee...now this is a knife:). Thanks for the video...been thinking about investing in that landing gear. Can you do a video on your trailer rail supports?
good job, wind is a problem for me too.
I have a friend would records audio on a small digital voice recorder with a lapel mic, them does a "voice over" during editing, it looks seamless, and you can keep it in your pocket. There is a learning curve but it didn't look too tough or expensive. I have not tried it myself, I am still looking into it. I don't talk much anyway.
Yeah I've done something similar to that with my iphone and it works great....but to be honest, I'm just lazy when it comes to editing lol
The product is good, although it's extremely difficult to install. The problem is that the people at this company are AWFUL to customers. I ordered a small box of bolts and knuckle hardware from them. The first problem was that they charged $43 to ship a small box from North Carolina to my house in CT. That's absurd. The next issue is that when I needed to return a couple of the parts, my email to customer service was ignored for a week. When they finally did reply, this is what I was told:
"To be honest I would try to sell what you do not need because I am going to explain our return policy. You send back the parts that you do not need and once they arrive we inspect them; upon inspection we issue a refund of the product price minus a $25.00 restocking fee"
So yeah - good product, but terrible to install, and the company doesn't seem to care about the customers. I'd buy something else if I could do it all again.
Great video explaining that !! That is a must have for all pro angler owners
Yessir
Thanks for the tips. I just bought a Wilderness ATAK 140 and the Boone dox landing gear will definitely come in handy getting the yak to and from the parking lot. Great video despite the wind!
Thanks Mark!
Awesome video, very helpful. I struggle with the Hobie cart, and I wondered if the Landing Gear would work better. Your video confirms that it's a no brainer. Thanks!
thanks mburke. If you purchase go through my website. www.venturetube.net
@@VentureTube No link or product to purchase the boondox landing gear?
You made it look effortless.
Bought it immediately after watching your video. I've got a 2014 PA 14' hope it fits.
You'll love it!
Great landing gear
Modify it to attach to H-Rail. That's why I got the h rail so I didn't have to drill. Seen that system crack other stayle hauls.
I've had no issues with mine
VentureTube I love the engineering of it but scared to put it on my PA. I pack a heavy yak for drum season. Cool full of beer, front hatch with ice and half bushel of surf clams.
Great job on the video.
Thanks for watching!
Recently purchased the PA14 and this was my fist modification mostly from watching your earlier video on it. I hear you about not tightening the thumb screws but I am too afraid I will lose one on the water. Would hate to be on the water all day and then find out I lost one.
Well if it fell out you'd probably hear it....depending on the wind I guess. And they float so i'm not too worried but I understand your concern. Alot of money for some rubber wheels.
You could always attach something similar to paddle leashes to them. That should grab your attention along with periodically checking both sides. At least they should still be attached.
Shoulda showed loading back onto trailer. Is it difficult?
very nice system
It is!
This is great
It works great too!
Right-On Killer Set-Up Man ..........
Well done sir....I may have seen this done once wink wink. .....gives me an idea for the Titan so thanks bud. Tight lines and good luck this year with your adventures.
Thank you my man!
nice video. Showed the steps clearly. How about using the Boone Dox system in surf? We don't have the luxury of still water. Maybe I should just stay with Hobie trax cart? Thanks
I think the boone dox would be great in the surf as well. I'd swap out the wheels to the ones made by C-tug to make it even better.
im SOLD!!! thanks for the video man!
You'll love it!
Awesome description... was on the fence about getting one. Thanks
I wonder how well it would do on the powder like sand along the gulf coast
Matthew Robinson You can swap the tires out for the larger pneumatic ones for sand.
Been waiting for this vid thanks bra
Overweight Male You're welcome!
Nice, thanks again for a great review.
Thanks for watching!
I am concerned about the integrity of the hull post-drilling. I hope Im wrong, but I can see some warping over time.
no issues with warping with mine. Still going strong!
Good to hear. I so want one! I hate turning my boat on the side to put the cart wheels in. It messes with my fishing experience!
Unfortunately, this does NOT work the same way with the pneumatic wheels! Remember, they float, so they are difficult to sink below the waterline!
I liked good idea. from Jacksonville fl
Bought a pa14 today, want these wheels, some controversy online about them cracking? Mine is dune white
Awesome
i always keep a fillet knife in my car. you never know when you need to.... "cut some fish" you know? lol
Yes sir!
Have you ever used those wheels on soft sand? The model I am looking at appears to have the same wheels but I will be fishing the gulf mostly. They just look like they would sink axle deep in sand and I dont see any options for other wheels at Boonedox.
Hey bud I love your videos after seen so many of them I decided to get a pro angler 14 .now I'm having problem finding a anchor troley for the 2017 pro angler I wonder of the yak attack one would work or if hobie universal troley will work ? What you got on yours thanks man
I'd purchase the Hobie one. Get it from mariner sails in dallas. Tell them I sent you and they'll take care of you.
would you know where the best price on boondox sand tires would be?
Do you think this system will work with your new island kayak too?
Yes it will!
Does the wheels ever rub against the yak?
I've never had that issue.
Will it work for a hobie mirage compass kayak.
Tony!!! What am I doing wrong I try to put the wheels up the way you do in this video and I almost turtle every time I can never get the port side ( left) back in... any advice ?
Its hard to say without seeing you do it in person. maybe you're not quite rotating it high enough to pass the pin to slide it in?? I don't know...
I think I'm leaning over the side to far and grabbing it in wrong spot I'll get it figured out but your videos definitely help me to learn stuff all the time keep them coming
Also when you do it is your seat in the high or low position? I'm trying it in the high position
Awesome video!! Will this system work on the Hobie outback?
Southern Outdoors Fishing yes it will
Awesome Thanks!!
Ok thanks!!
What kind of trailer is that?
LOL that only works at launches that are exactly like that. Try that at a launch that is shallow or muddy. Not happening 😅😂
Looking to try (buy) out a Hobie, know any vendors in the east texas (Houston) area that you recommend?
EASY!! Go see Aris at Mariner Sails. Tell him I sent you and he will definitely take care of you!
how did you get it to come right to you, is that one trained or what?
i got her trained reeel goood lol. That and the wind lol
did you get a new trailer? new video on it to come?
Justin Courts yes I did build a new trailer. I will probably make a video of it in the future
great thanks i like that setup a lot.
no one puts these on a PA 12
its killing me cause it the only reason why haven't got a hobie yet
Really? Why not?
I wish I could win a Hobie kayak pro angler 14 360
does the discount code no longer work?
Wow $250 is quite a bit for a kayak trolley. I have an older model and it is a $3,000 kayak, but $250 is a bit much.
It's money well spent though
Maybe, but I am going to see how things work out this year. It is my first full year with kayak and as I have a Hobie PA 14 they are a bit tough to move around at about 160 pounds. I can do a motor add on for less than that so I can get out further quicker. A full year on the ocean, rivers, and lakes will help me figure out what I need. Either way it is a neat option and if it was cheaper I almost certainly would get it.
Used my BooneDox Landing Gear on my 2017 Hobie PA14, works just as easy as you made it look. Although I tightened the thumb screws a little. The BooneDox T-Bone works great also for carrying the Yak in the back of my truck. Also, it really wasn't that difficult to install. Once you get over the fact that you are going to have to drill 4 screw holes in your New Kayak. Watched the "How TO", about 8 - 10 times to make sure I was doing it right. ua-cam.com/video/faviylL7Mg8/v-deo.html
Yeah the thumb screw thing has messed me up several times...It's because of the angle it sits at when I unload the kayak off my trailer. Drilling holes in a new yak is always scary lol but it's definitely worth doing for this this Boone Dox Gear.
KrisCutOff ... lol I did the same I almost vomited drilling those holes into my 2017 Pa 14 but it was done and done in about an hour. My problem with the way tony retracts the wheels when on the water is my right side goes in just fine.... when I try to do the left I almost turtle ... what am I doing wrong ?
got pulled over by Houstons finest with a filet knife in a crate with other fishing items, and was giving a ticket along with a lecture about why it was against the law for me to have this knife in my vehicle, he stated that the knife needs to be in a gearbox or a tackle box and not in an open crate in the rear of my jeep grand Cherokee. (what an asshole) but anyways some of us can do this and some of us can not.
man I've never heard of that.....I don't think that's cool at all.. He's probably mad he doesn't catch anything big enough to fillet. Don't let that keep you from doing your thing my man. Look me up. I'm ready to fish anytime!! C'mon!
