I got a Jet Sled XL for hauling whitetails and will use it for hauling decoys and gear for waterfowl. I decided to make a few modifications. I added some fiberglass strips to add some protection the bottom. Although the screws had sealable washers, I still soliconed each screw after they were secured. I also added some "U" bolts so I can use some ratchet straps to secure gear or deer. I swapped out their smaller pull cord for one a little beefier and added some hose for an extra comfortable pull. The jet sled is 66"L x 31"W and 12" deep.

I hope it works as I have sold my deer cart. Lol!

My son and I use one and they are awesome! They float too as long as you are careful not to tip it. Load up decoys and guns no problem. I’ve also drug two deer on it at one time. Definitely a great tool to have.

You can even sit in them in very shallow water when your boots leak. Don’t ask how I know..

Get a floating water ski rope handle. I have dragged a lot of deer out of the woods with one. Keep it in the sled, it can always be looped around the rubber tube if the tube collapses on your hands when pulling a heavy load.

McMaster Carr has UHMW (teflon) plastic strips that I have to put on the bottom of mine. I have countersunk flathead screws - the UHMW is 5/16" thick.

I use that in snow, the wheeled cart on dirt.

Good thinking on the U-Bolts. I used a 1" wide, 1/8" thick strip of aluminum on the underside of the lip, then used eye bolts with washers top and bottom and nyloc nuts to put eyes on mine.
