We've got Wheeleez Carts!

I'm very excited that we are now offering Wheeleez carts and accessories in our EBKF store! These carts are solid, well built and will get your kayak just about anywhere you need to take it. They are great in soft sand, rough terrain, mud, and they fold up to be easily stowed on the kayak. If you need a new cart these are worth taking a look at. We have a couple of different styles in the store but we can get whatever you need. SUP carts, jet ski carts, accessories, just let us know what you are looking for. Thanks, have a great day!

 Beach wheels are great not only in the sand but also on rough or muddy ground.

 Flat-free, maintenance free, "Tuff-Tire", foam wheels.

The beach cart in the folded position. Made with a strong but light aluminum frame and stainless steel hardware.

Wilderness Systems Thresher 140

Super stoked! Received the new Wilderness Systems Thresher 140 yesterday. Been waiting for a while as they worked out some production issues to get things right. Well my initial impression is WOW! I have to admit it's a lot of boat at 14 feet. I've never had a kayak this long but, the layout, the features, and the overall design are very nice. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into the design and features they integrated. Here are some pics:

 Thresher 140 in dusk color.

 Front hatch, hinged in the front with good quality closures in the rear.

 Enclosed front hatch, offers some great front storage. There are scupper holes in place but the Thresher comes with plugs to keep the area dry.

 The Thresher's cockpit is roomy and well laid out. The new foot braces are large and comfortable.

The large center hatch is equipped with a rubber gasket and locking mechanisms to hold it tightly in place. It is also hinged in the front for easy opening and closing. The center hatch is able to accommodate fishing rods for launching and landing in the surf.

I love the removable pod on the Ride 115X but the pod on the Thresher is a big improvement in design. It is large and roomy but not overly bulky. Like the center hatch it is held in place by some solid clamps.

A shot of the pod removed. You can see the large opening for multiple sizes of transducers.

I got mine with the optional rudder kit. I think the rudder will be a nice addition on this 14 foot kayak.

This is the rudder deployment system for lifting and lowering the rudder from the seat. The rudder itself is operated by the foot braces.

The rear tankwell is really large and comes with a bungee system along with 2 tie down straps. You can see there is also a spot to install a round hatch should you choose.

The seat of the Thresher is the original Air Pro seat. A comfortable seat with some adjustability to it. 

There's a quick overview of the Thresher. Soon, I'll do a more in depth review, after I get it out on the water. Thanks for checking it out!
