re: Kayak Question: Ascend FS12T vs FS128T

Question about launching solo.
I'm 30 and lift regularly (kinda skrong) and have no issues launching a 60lb kayak solo with no cart. My plan was bumping up to the high 70s-80s lb yak meant I'd need to buy a cart to launch solo. Does that sound reasonable?

I can launch the FS12T just fine solo. Cart would be easier at a busier launch where there's not a place to launch a yak away from everyone though. Sometimes have to put it in the water before loading in crate and stuff. I can only carry it alone sideways.

I'd think it depends on where you typically launch. If you can park close by and its an easy spot to launch, then you might not need a cart. I don't think it's necessarily the added weight of the yak that makes it difficult, I think the bulkiness. I can carry my Pescador all day and have no problems, but the FS128t was a pita and I couldn't really carry it by myself.
I launch my PA14 solo a lot. But I have spots that I can access easily from the road. I don't drag it over oysters or anything.
