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…

We have one box that fits the Malone Microsport trailers with the part #MPG481 which installs below the bars of the rack. I attached a review video and picture for you to check out as well.
I took a look at the Yakima Rack and Roll #Y08106 that you're inquiring about, and it turns out you can actually stand this kayak up completely like you're wanting too. You are just going to have to remove the wheels and the tongue, which is…
The 78 inch Yakima Rack n Roll trailer #Y08107 is actually wider overall than its 66 inch counterpart, #Y08106. So it is not just the crossbars. Because the price difference between the 2 is minimal it would be more beneficial to just go with the 78…

Effortless Adventures Await with a Kayak Trailer
Kayak trailers are a game-changer for water enthusiasts, offering a convenient way to transport your kayaks, canoes, and even bikes. Easy to assemble and sturdy, these trailers ensure your gear is secure on the road. Whether you're a solo adventurer or tr
Yes, kayak trailers are versatile and can accommodate various watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and even small boats. They often come with adjustable racks and tie-down straps to secure different sizes and shapes, ensuring a snug fit for your adventures.
A kayak trailer simplifies transporting your gear, allowing you to focus on the adventure. With easy loading and unloading, you can quickly hit the water or trails. Its capacity to carry multiple items like kayaks and bikes makes it perfect for spontaneous trips and exploring new locations.
Assembling a kayak trailer is straightforward, often taking a few hours. Clear instructions and labeled parts make the process smooth. Many find it manageable alone, though having a few tools like deep sockets can help. Watching a video tutorial beforehand can provide useful tips.
Kayak trailers are designed for stability, even at highway speeds of 70-75 mph. They feature sturdy construction and secure tie-downs to keep your gear in place, providing peace of mind on long trips. Regular maintenance checks can further ensure a smooth ride.
For saltwater use, consider trailers with stainless steel hardware to prevent corrosion. While galvanized options are common, stainless steel offers better durability in harsh conditions. Rinsing the trailer with fresh water after exposure to saltwater can also help maintain its condition.
