Both the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #Y08107 and Malone MicroSportXT Trailer #MPG460XT will work for you to carry your two Hobie kayaks, but I recommend the MicroSport XT because it is the better value of the two trailers. The biggest difference…
Hey Steve, it looks like you are comparing the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Carriers part #MAL93FR with the Yakima LowRider Kayak Trailer #Y82QD. The Malone actually has a 400 lb weight capacity vs. the Yakima which is rated for 750. The…

Hey Chuck, Malone has a spare tire and mount for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer for a Heavy Kayak #MAL73FR with part #MAL33FR. It's just a simple U-bolt that you'll use to clamp the wheel to the frame of the trailer, just like the picture…
Hey Scotty, the tongue of the Yakima LowRider part #Y82QD does not have ability to fold or retract. BUT we do have the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer #MPG460XT that does have a retractable tongue. It also can carry boats up to 20 feet in length and has…

The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailers like item #MAL43FR have 8" tires with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel item #AM3H490 would work as a replacement but you will most likely have to…
Hey Tanya, thanks for reaching out! To tow your trailer you'll need a ball mount with a 2" rise and for that I recommend going with the etrailer Ball Mount Kit #e38NR. This gives you a 2-3/4" rise but that will still work for your…

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!
