As I speak this ad will change in the next few weeks and months to reflect the new cart I will be selling online. It is finally in its final stages of patenting and prototyping and pictures should be posted shortly. Previously shown - pictured cart - was only a prototype cart made over 5 years ago and is no longer available. It was just for size reference, and has since been deleted from this ad. Sorry if you didn't get a chance to see it. UPDATE: 8-30-08 Newest cart prototype weld-up with modifications will be in progress the next few month if all goes well with the re-drawings. Several more new changes, improvements, and parts were added, so it was back to the drawing board. Sorry for the long unveiling delay, but I had a lot of distractions take time away from this project (all real estate market related issues aside), and now business things are finally on track again - hopefully! My health is just great now and was never really in question, but one always has to be in control of ones own destiny when it comes to doctors. If it doesn't sound right, always get a 2nd and/or 3rd opinion, and do ask tons of ??'s!!! I did, and I was glad I did at that!! More coming soon... NEW AD TEXT STARTS HERE: The fully working prototype model ALL STAINLESS STEEL fishing cart will be going into production shortly, as some last minute size re-designs and innovative improvements were incorporated in the final hours. 10 units will still be initially made ready for photo shoots, advertising purposes, and initial sales. The first 4 of those 10 carts are already spoken for. 1000 units will be made over a 24-month sale period from production start. Each cart will be permanently serialized and tracked. That figure will be adjusted or ramped up based on overall sales. My goal is: To get one of these quality carts into the hands of any serious minded fisherman needing something this useful, and who's been looking for such a high quality product/cart. I know when I looked out there even 5 years ago, and of recent, there was nothing out there at all worth 2 cents! This new cart is constructed solely out of marine grade stainless steel, and may/will have, or come with optional S/S, and/or possibly aluminum accessories if feasible. It's now 60% larger overall then an older prototype that was previously shown in this ad photo. It will be sold strictly as an online only ordered item (FIRM pricing and non-EBAY type auction sale as well). It will also be sold as a word of mouth referral - both here in FL or else in CA - depending on final production sites at the final time of the products unveiling, shipping cost, and locations. Word of mouth referral sales will be credited a perk in the form of cash, or the perk can be used to buy accessories as they are added. At this writing retail store sales are not being considered for obvious reasons, as the online interest is far too great. The fishing cart will be made available for online purchase and shipping only, and the buyer will pay for all shipping cost coast to coast based on present day USPS shipping rates. Shipping will be prepaid by the buyer and shipped C.O.D. via USPS only. All sales will again be made by USPS MONEY ORDER ONLY as I will not deal with any Ebay or Craigslist type scammers, rip-off artists, or people with bad attitude problems, such as those mainly found at Craigslist! Because the cart will be of a full take down nature, shipping was a big part of the re-design considerations to keep production cost down. Though the final selling price has not yet been decided upon at this time - pending patents and copyrights being in their final stages - I do know that the selling price will be in the $450 price range - plus any shipping cost. The final selling price will reflect the high quality of the finished fishing cart, as well as the fact you will never have to buy another one ever again. Personal abuse and acts of GOD set aside. It will only be MADE IN AMERICA WITH PRIDE AND QUALITY!! Nothing was left to chance, and every possible fishing need was addressed as surveyed by real life fishing people. A lot of input went into its design, and changes can be custom made to order for a price. Buyout of exclusive patent rights on this project will not be considered at this writing because of the marketing/demand potential. Once near saturation is realized then buyout bids will be considered. The base model cart will/can carry up to 4 R&R's - in total combination of Conv & Spinning combos, and by way of the optional rack(s) will also carry up to 6 R&R combos MAX. Those extra rod tubes (optional rack) can also be used to carry dip-net frames, and/or 12-volt lighting pole assys, or even lightening grounding rods for pier type fishing done in heavy lightening strike areas such as those found in FL for example. Anymore then 6 tubes is total overkill I feel, as my original prototype cart had 7, and that was way more tubes then I ever needed. Unless such is the case you are maybe selling some extra fishing gear like I do from time to time. Custom rod racks (upon request) will come in various R&R combinations (as to tube diameters) at time of ordering, as again the standard model will only hold 4 R&R combos. Additional custom ordered rack designs will be considered as from/by your input. Custom racks can be made to order with any number of rod combination possibilities, and tubing slots for spinning reels upon request. Add'l items can be substituted instead of R&R's such as a gaff pole, hand net, and frame for dip net, etc. S/S tubes are generous and will support everything from 9-10' cork wrapped custom rods, to surf rods, down to U/L rods. Provisions have been made to store/accommodate a line gaff hook, for pier fishermen, and line storage spool especially for those fishing off their local piers. It will carry all your pier fishing equipment as well, such as small drink iced cooler or electric type, small bait iced cooler, small 12vdc TV, marine weather radio, chair, and clothes. It can support a small or medium size 10-15g live well bait tank with 12vdc powered circ pump and a 12vdc inverter to drive the 110 VAC air pump from special small AGM totally sealed batts of various amp hour ratings up to 80ah. S/S cart storage box is watertight to keep gear stored inside nice and dry. Options such as choice of solid rubber tires vs pneumatic air tires (and size diameter as well), clip and hanger accessories, custom vanity wheel covers, custom vanity license plates, exterior lighting options for safety as well as for area lighting, etc will all be available soon. Electrical lightning strike cables and grounding schemes are also available for high strike lightning areas of the USA (ie: FLORIDA). Though this cart was solely designed for all my fellow fishermen, it can be used by everyone that needs a transportation cart. I've also been approached by several of my VA buddies, as they have a need for this product also. All your comments on the fishing cart are appreciated. Email me your interests or concerns.

MY EPAGE GENERAL SHIPPING & PAYMENT TERMS: Price is FIRM unless otherwise noted in the ad text, and buyer's shipping cost (including any delivery confirmation & any INSURANCE) is extra, and shipping is via USPS REGULAR GROUND PARCEL POST, unless otherwise agreed upon by seller to anywhere in the USA. Hawaii and Alaska are quoted separately IF they are higher. Payment is also made ONLY by USPS MONEY ORDER or else by cash if a local sale. No exceptions! Leave me a good City & State ZIP CODE so I can quote you the EXACT online USPS Calculator shipping charges. Because I highly care for and cherish all my repeat Epage customers here - past to present - that have bought items from me over the past 10+ years, I will not sacrifice customer service over a quick dollar in profit! It's just not worth it to me or my "High Trustworthy A+ Epage Ratings" that I received from all my satisfied repeat customers past to present. Some people might, but not me! That is why I will NOT even deal with any EBAY or CRAIGSLIST type scammers or spammers, as I'm now past done with that Craigslist gutter-trash Gmail spammer mentality & their scammer/flagging attitudes there! Epage here does a GREAT job in filtering out and blocking all those Ebay & Craigslist type scammers & spammers!! Keep up the good work Brad & company!!!! I have since canceled my acct at Craigslist and any ads I had running there, AND will no longer even use that LAME and otherwise worthless Craigslist site for anything! GOOD RIDDENS Craigslist lame flaggers & scumbags!! This ad has had 121,312 displays and 9,067 readers
