Hello Nicholas, thanks for reaching out. The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR can carry up to 4 kayaks. The crossbars are 58" long so it really would not be possible to fit 6 kayaks on there.
A better option would be the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 this has a 78" crossbar and can be used to carry up to 6 kayaks when used with J-style cradles like the Yakima JayHook # Y04084.
