Hi Boris; the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 you looked at would actually be perfect for your boat. This holds boats up to 14' long and has a capacity of 800 lbs. Bunks are going to be the best way to hold the boat and you can configure them running front to back or side to side, whichever works best for your setup. It also comes with a winch to help with loading/act as a tie-down point to keep it secure.

Tha is a lot for your answer. Would the smaller version also work? It’s a little cheaper This one https://www.etrailer.com/Kayak-Trailer/CE-Smith/CE48810.html?feed=npn

@Borid I'm sure you could technically fit it on the # CE48810 but you're going to have too much hanging off the back. The maximum boat size is 12' so you're over that with your 12' 6" length so you need the longer trailer.

I have a solution for you but the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer item #CE48870 is not suitable for your 16' SeaEagle Inflatable Fishskiff. That trailer can only carry a boat up to 14' and as you pointed at it is quite a bit…

Yakima does not recommend backing their Rack and Roll trailers like the #Y08107 you mentioned into water as the bearings aren't sealed and neither are the electrical connections. Your best option would be to back it right up to the waters edge…

The CE Smith Boat Trailer part #CE48810 comes with guide ons which help to center your boat during loading and to hold the boat during transport so I don't really recommend adding anything additional in regards to this aspect because of the size…

The Yakima Rack and Roll, part #Y08106 is capable of towing your 14 foot inflatable boat. You will want to purchase longer 78 inch Crossbars, part #Y00411 to better accommodate your boat. You'll need some system to tie down the boat, and I…
