My question is, they use the same type of wheels (or very close). Are those sufficient to drag 80+ lbs across sand? That seems like the biggest area for difficulty.

The cart in the link and carts similar to it are great starter carts. I had a PVC cart for at least 3years and it did the job(+/- a repair here and there) most of the time but there were those days when I had to pull my kayak through sand it was exhausting. Yes, the wheelies carts are bulky but trust me, there are worth every penny and they can hold some weight. If you're strapped for cash get what you can afford for now and save some money for a wheelies cart.
