Choose an Outback cart by hull generation, fully rigged weight and surface. Hobie’s current cart matrix names the Outback for its plug-in range, while cart posts must fully reach their internal support surfaces; incomplete scupper insertion can damage tubes. Cradle carts avoid loading scuppers and fit both pre-2019 and 2019+ Outbacks when adjusted to the maker’s documented setting. Never exceed a cart’s static rating or leave personal gear loaded for rough terrain.

Buying tips
- Use the cart maker’s Outback setting and cam straps before moving a loaded hull.
- For plug-in carts, insert posts fully and use the Cart Keeper; do not let scupper tubes carry the load.
- Choose wide pneumatic or SandTrakz wheels for sand and solid wheels for ramps and pavement.
