Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out. Both of those boats are pretty cool! After looking at some specs for both online and looking at the trailers we carry here is what I am thinking:
That inflatable catamaran is like 72" wide. It would be possible to carry this with one of our trailers like the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535, but there would be no room for the other boat. The crossbars on this trailer are extra-long 86" wide and are the largest we offer.
It looks like the Adirondack Guide Boat is about 36" wide so there would just be no good way to fit both boats on one trailer at the same time.
One solution would be to carry the catamaran on the trailer, and carry the guide boat on the roof of your vehicle. A roof rack with crossbars, and a roof mounted canoe carrier would be a good solution for this. Getting the guide boat on the roof may take some effort, but with the width of both boats there would just be no good way to store them side-by-side on one of our trailers.
Another solution would be for you to use a basic utility trailer with a side rail. You could carry one boat on the trailer deck, then use the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit for Utility Trailers # MPG493 to carry the other boat.
What vehicle will you be towing with? Let me know and I am happy to recommend a roof rack solution for the guide boat if you want to look into it.
