			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my research to find (and eventually to custom design and fabricate) the perfect beach wagon, there were several important factors I considered and implemented:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nice wheels: I went on a quest to find wheels that wouldn&#8217;t sink into the sand (rendering it useless) the moment you loaded some stuff&#8211;or kids&#8211;into it, and succeeded with these awesome balloon tires.</li>
<li>Size: I was having a hard time finding anything decent that would fit into the trunk of my Volkswagon Jetta. I didn&#8217;t want to make something too big that had to go on the roof rack, which would make it difficult to get up and down. I also designed it so the handle folds under and locks along the bottom of the cart for when you need to pack it in a tight space.</li>
<li>Steering and ease of use: I wanted a wagon that you could actually turn and steer vs. dragging right and left.</li>
<li>Extras: Little things like the hooks along the side to place your umbrella are all design details that you won&#8217;t find on any other cart.  I&#8217;m still toying with the idea of removable drink holders for those extra long beach walks.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these factors, and many more, went into the design of this luxury beach cart. Not only will you turn a lot of heads while you stroll down the beach with this in tow, but you also won&#8217;t break a sweat because of all the well-designed features.  The current asking price is $2986 US Dollars. We are able to make small modifications to the cart if wanted. Please send all inquiries via email to mdfbusiness@martelfab.com . Below are additional photos and specifications.</p>

<p>Back before having a family, going to the beach meant nothing more than grabbing a towel and a few other things. Now, however, I&#8217;ve learned that it often means packing large amounts of towels, food/drinks, sunscreen, beach toys, umbrellas and, of course, the kids. After several back-breaking and sweaty trips to and from the beach, I realized that there was a significant need for a well-made, well-designed and most of all, functional beach wagon.</p>
<p>The Wellfleet Voyager took its first trip in none other than Wellfleet, Cape Cod and was a big hit with the locals and vacationers alike.  The orders are starting to fly in and if you are thinking of a what might bring a smile to your family&#8217;s collective faces when they come down on Christmas morning&#8230;this is your pick.  Even though it hasn&#8217;t been tested, I&#8217;d venture to say it would work pretty well in the snow, too! Order now before it&#8217;s too late!</p>
