Question:

I have a Hobie Pro Angler 14 Kayak and would like to get a light weight trailer to tow it with...as well as possibly a second kayak or bicycles sometimes. Would the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 78 inch Item # Y08107 serve this need well? Thanks

Expert Reply:

You have a good eye because your Hobie Pro Angler 14 kayak would easily be transported with the Rack and Roll trailer, which is the following part number:

- Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 78" # Y08107

The # Y08107 is able to haul up to 250 lbs, giving you about 100 lbs of capacity left after loading your Hobie kayak, which means you can easily carry a second kayak or bike.

For a compatible kayak carrier you need something able to handle the weight of your Hobie, and for that go with the 150 lb capacity Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier # Y04091 with RoundBar Adapter Kit # Y04093.

If you want to add a bike or second kayak, go with the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y68DJ and Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073.
