The crossbars of the Malone # MAL25FR LowBed MicroSport trailer are 78 inches in length. From what I found online, the Hobie Mirage Outback kayaks are about 34 inches wide which would provide plenty of room as the bunks are width adjustable and can be moved side to side as needed. The 100 lb weight of each fully rigged kayak would fall well within the capacity of the trailer, so there'd be no worries there.

As for rollers, you could use bunk rollers like # CE27700 which could be mounted directly to the existing carpeted bunks. I used these on a PWC trailer a few years back, and they make loading and unloading super-easy.
