Expert Reply:

The weight capacity of the J-style cradles on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL93FR is 75 lbs. If your kayaks will exceed the capacity of the cradles then you would need to add the Bunk Kit for Malone Trailers - 1 Kayak # MPG561. The bunk kit has a 500 lb capacity so it would be able to handle any kayak you have as long as you aren't exceeding the capacity of the trailer.

You could also use the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7' Bunks - 800 lbs # MPG461B2. This is designed for heavier kayaks and has a maximum boat weight capacity of 225 lbs per boat.

I have attached some review videos for your reference.
