Cart policy for this hull
Either cart type is reasonable
Light enough that a well-fitted cart of most types will work. Strap-over platform carts are the low-risk default.
Hull shape and cart contact
Flat / near-flat bottom
A near-flat bottom beds down broadly on almost any pad, which makes this the most forgiving shape to cart and the least sensitive to pad contour.

- Scupper diameter
- Not published
- Scupper spacing

Old Town do not publish scupper dimensions. A scupper cart may physically fit, but we cannot confirm the holes are structural, so we cannot recommend one on measurement grounds.
Carts assessed against this kayak
Evaluated on hard-packed ground with no gear aboard. That is a generous baseline — add a loaded tackle crate and a battery in the finder and the picture changes.
