Question:

I am interested in a system trailer that will be able to carry 2 hobie mirage drive kayaks and up to 4 24-26” bikes. Or a sunfish and 2 kayaks. I need Light weight that can be managed with a trailer jack or by hand if possible. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:

The most cost effective way to carry your two Hobie Mirage kayaks and up to 4 bikes is to use the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL43FR for the kayaks. This trailer only weighs 145lbs so it can be moved around by hand pretty easily.

For the bikes I recommend using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 which will allow you to tow your trailer plus carry a bike rack.

If you do not already have a bike rack I recommend the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR4000 which will work with your 4 24" - 26" bikes as long as they do not exceed 35lbs per bike.

You will want to make sure that the bike rack, your bikes, and the tongue weight of the trailer does not exceed the tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch receiver.
