Not exactly a kayak rigging question, but more of a ‘hauling my rigged kayak’ question.
I’m looking at two options for hauling my kayaks, a Malone Microsport Low Bed Dual Kayak Bunk trailer and a Load-Rite Dual Jetski Bunk trailer.
The kayak trailer is lighter weight and might be ‘tuned’ to haul lighter weights, but is more expensive, has to be assembled from a kit, inspected, then registered and plated - up to two weeks to get the MCO via mail.
The jet ski trailer is from a local dealer, is definitely not ‘tuned’ to haul such light watercraft, but is registered/plated and ready to go upon delivery.
My tow vehicle is a Toyota Tacoma, so no issues there. Price is roughly $1,700 for Kayak trailer (plus all inspection, tax, title, registration, plate fees) and $1,475 for the Jetski trailer plus all fees.
Any thoughts, pros/cons, etc? Load-Rite does make a dual kayak trailer as well I could get from the same dealer, but would need to be ordered (2+ weeks), have wider bars added, have bunks added, etc. and still be plus fees (prob about $1,200-$1,300 plus fees).
I want a bunk trailer (to store/support kayaks on), and then be able to back right into the water to load/unload. My back and shoulders aren’t holding up to regular loading and unloading from my truck bed.
