Question:

I’m looking for a trailer that could haul a jon boat but could also be used to haul 2 kayaks. Maybe one where the kayaks sit on a rack above the Jon boat. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:

While there is a way for you to haul your jon boat and a pair of kayaks, there isn't a single trailer that will be able to do so. The reason is there's no way to mount kayaks above a jon boat, or even to the side, because that would make the trailer far too wide. So what you can do is use a trailer for the jon boat, and then transport your kayaks on the roof of your vehicle with a roof rack and kayak carriers like the J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878.

To transport your jon boat, we do have options for a trailer, and that will just depend on how long the boat is:

- Up To 12 Foot Boat: CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer with Bunks # CE48810

- Up To 14 Foot Boat: CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer with Bunks # CE48870

These trailers have an 800 lb capacity which is plenty for a jon boat, and I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out. Also, if you let me know what vehicle you have, I can recommend a roof rack set up if you don't already have one.
