Ok from seeing all the prices of what it to takes to modify dollies, garden carts, and even PVC carts to make a sutable fishing cart. Here are my prices.
Fish N Mate Jr
$174.95 Website Plus Shipping
9x14.5x34
4 Rod Holders
Mine
$145
9x15.5x31
6 Rod Holders
----------------------------------------
Fish N Mate Sr $209.99 Plus Shipping
9x16x43
8 Rod Holders
Mine $185.00
9x16x42
8 Rod Holders
--------------------------------------
To make any cart collapsible 30.00 more
Would give you Fish N Mates price but they don't make one.....
Note** Had to modify some of the length due to Patent Rights..
All cart are made out of 6063 T-6 Aircraft aluminum. They can hold approx. 200lbs but I will tell ya this. I have stood on mine and I am 200+ some....

It is in the process...
Filled out all paperwork last night for a Patent and it has been submitted already.

Make the front with a t that slides in and out with a pin to hold it in place and then have a swivel wheel option for the front. Yes i am looking at it from a lazy mans point of view. Why lift if all you have to do is pull.

I understand.
I have looking into a cost effective wheel that will last a while instead of blowing out.

nice rig but i'm cornfused  if all you had to do was adjust a couple of lengths to avoid patent infringements, what's to stop somebody else from doing the same thing to your design? sounds like a waste of 5 grand for a patent that could easily be sideskirted.

In order to get a patent it has to be approved by the Patent Department.
It maybe a situation where there is no Patent needed.
And then it is your choice as to if you purchase te patent.
And the last time I check the Patent cost is only about $2000
Filing fee $100
Blue Prints $125
Patent Article $1800

Reef, if your cart starts sagging too much, you can put 1-2 inch (depending on your pvc's inside diameter) wooden dowel rods in the base of the frame the length of the cart to give it more support; these wouldn't add too much weight and would keep it from possibly breaking in the middle. |

Don't laugh, but here's mine:
Base vehicle is a foldihg Travel Chair $99.95 on-line new. I got mine used for next to nothin
Finished product:
All you need is the chair, a couple of dairy crates, some 2" pvc, velcro straps, sheet metal screws and a lot of imagimation.
This baby has 7 rod holders (not counting the ones on cooler), 2 five gal. buckets (one for dry storage and one with aereator for bait), tackle box in the seat and a 86qt. Igloo on the armrests. There are hooks for hanging a gaff and other items. Load capacity is 300lbs. It's all based on a combination of velcro and gravity.
Caution - It rolls easly, so be sure to set the brakes on a windy day or it will drive off on its own.

Hey Reefdup,
Maybe if you mixed up some viagra in water and pour it in your pipes, it might help that sagging problem you have!

Mine is a blue ice cube cooler and my tackle box handle slides over it, gaff goes in cooler, and drinks hang over tackle box. Only need a hand for poles, I limit myself to 2.

OK this is my first run at posting a picture here. Here is my cart. I slip my tackle bag over the handle, have a slot for each rod. If you travel you can put stuff in it so it doesn't take up a lot of extra space if you're tight. Granted it is not going to last 5 yrs, but it works OK, you do have to fold up kings to get them in. Hardware is nylon, no rust. Length of the holders is just right so the rod slides into the tube and the reel arm rests in the notch on the tube. They are positioned where the reels are angled so they don't bump. Note the foam in the one, that keeps the bait rod snug amd not flopping around.

Question for tech experts: I reinforced T-wagon with zinc-coated washers. Later, I found washers heavily corroded, but no corrosion anywhere else. Would a sacrificial anode be a good idea for steel pier carts and equipment?

I would suggest if you use any other than stainless use a galvinized coating not zinc.

All right here is the finally product that I will start production on.
33" long
18" wide
9" Tall
This cart is completely collapsible. Will fit in most cars.
I will be also making the non collapsible version of this one as well.
PM me for qoutes. They are cheaper than Fish N Mate and made out higher quality aluminum.
Get your choice of color Black, Aluminum, Green, Blue. Other colors maybe available just ask.

This is Ms Pat's new pier cart, the Cadillac on wheels. She showed it to me when I visited her today. I liked it so much I had to take some pics of it and contribute to this thread. This truly is the best pier cart I have ever seen. It is surprisingly very light with solid construction. Thats one of those big coolers that will hold atleast a 50 pound Cobia. Ms Pat's brother made the cart and he did a fine job. 
Click the pics for bigger version.

I especially like the nose wheel. One doesn't have to lift the end, which can get old, like we all tend to do.

Garb's cart is nice for the minimalist I like Ms. Pat's cause it has enough room for all my junk that I have to carry especially when I'm deckhanding for the family
But these carts are way to professional looking to be "home-made"... where's all the junked up redneck stuff (like mine)? |

Looking at these carts, I recalled the racks on the beach vehicles on the Outer Banks. It occurred to me a cart might be designed with a trailer hitch attachment in its frame, and ride around on the back of a vehicle. Just lift it up and attach it to the trailer hitch. Not the easiest thing to make work, but possible.

Hey T,
They already have one designed by Fish N Mate.
It locks in the axle and the front clip of the cart.
