Give the product a 5.
Straightforward assembly,
half-day job. I have 2 triple
kayaks, both around 21 feet
long, and a single. It's tough
to find a trailer with enough
length. This trailer does the
trick. I've used it at freeway
speeds for long trips, rides
great. Works well to wet
launch kayaks at boat ramps (I
left the middle cross bars off
so kayaks could release into
the water without binding on
middle rack). No more
manhandling beasts off the top
of my car. For boat ramp
launches, can pack the boat on
the trailer with lighter items in
advance, can also load packed
boats back on the trailer post
trip. Can load boats solo. Can
pick up the tongue easily and
move the trailer with both
boats around on flats, in and
out of garage, etc. The rubber
padding on the crossbars and
posts is excellent, boats can be
braced into the crossbar,
upright, saddles not necessary.
The trailer rides pretty low, so
for my long boats, I would not
ride with them inverted on the
lowest crossbar (traditionally
larger kayaks are transported
upright on saddles) because
the rudder on the doubles
would be close to the ground,
could scrape. Not sure about a
large canoe with the highly
upturned prow (traditionally
transported inverted) could
have clearance issue on lowest
crossbar? I leave the boats
stored on the trailer in the
garage. Overall, fantastic rig.
Give the service a 2. As per
other review, plan ahead, I
was frustrated by the slow
arrival of the title, it's mailed
separately. The quick shipping
on the trailer was amazing, but
doesn't help if the title
paperwork for registration
comes 10 days later. I
assumed all would ship
together. So heads up if you're
trying to hit a date.
