Hey Ander, thanks for reaching out!

The Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT can handle up to 20' long boats so you just need to add the Bunk Kit # MPG561 and you'll be good to go!

Where do you plan on fishing at this year? Any big fishing trips you're planning out?

OK, thanks just checking making sure because I did purchase the bunk from you guys not installed them on the trailer. I took the boat trailer out for a test ride. I noticed a truck the boat was swinging left right for about 5 inches. I was going only doing 60 miles an hour on the freeway. I think with that extension for the tongue is the cause I think that could be the problem because there’s only one connection and I know it’s kind of loose so now I’m gonna disconnect the tongue from the trailer and reconnected with two bolts to the frame and see how sturdy that will be Thank you Andre

@Andre Did you have the boat loaded up when you were taking the trailer out for a spin? If the trailer was unloaded, then that will cause it to swing back and forth some as well.

@JonG yes it was loaded up. I believe the problem is that retractable tongue kit it only has one bolt holding it in place it doesn’t seem stable to me. either I could do a attach another bolt in it or just remove it and attach it to the trailer. I think that will eliminate the swing down having

Answer 1

We can piece together a Malone Lowbed trailer by first starting with the part #MPG464-LB and then a single bunk kit part #MPG561 and then the spare kit part #MPG465 and you'd be set. There isn't a kit with just the parts you are looking for…

Answer 2

Hey Russ, The only difference between the LowBed MicroSport #MAL25FR and MicroSportXT #MPG460XT is the load bar support beams. The beams are longer for the XT giving it a taller height, whereas the low bed has shorter supports. You'd be able to…

Answer 3

Yes, the Malone MicroSport to LowBed Trailer Conversion Support Tubes #MAL33TR will allow you to transform your MicroSport Trailer #MPG461B2 into the LowBed #MAL25FR. This will make it much easier to load your kayaks or possibly we launch them…

Answer 4

Hi Peter; if you make the LowBed conversion using the #MAL33TR you will not be able to fit the trunk under the crossbars. It will look like the picture below so there is really no additional room for anything underneath.

Answer 5

Hey Jeff, great question but when you install the Malone Low Bed conversion kit #MAL33TR the crossbars will still be taller than the fenders like you can see in the attached picture. Are you wanting lower crossbars for easier loading/unloading?

Answer 6

The Bunk Kit for Malone Trailers #MPG561 is designed to fit the 1-1/4" Crossbars #MPG4001 currently used on Malone trailers. You can still use them with your crossbars but will need to account for the difference in size with some flat…

Answer 8

Both the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #Y08107 and Malone MicroSportXT Trailer #MPG460XT will work for you to carry your two Hobie kayaks, but I recommend the MicroSport XT because it is the better value of the two trailers. The biggest difference…

Answer 9

Hi Philip! The shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #Y08107 actually use a pin instead of a bolt. That is the Replacement Shock Pin for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #8880182. This has a 14mm diameter and has 4-1/2" of useable length. If…

Answer 10

Hey Russell, good question. It really comes down to what you’re carrying and how many boats you want on the roof. The V-style carriers are more of a “keep it simple” setup. They hold the kayaks flat, side-by-side, which is great for stability and…
