Question:
Is the Yakima rack and roll trailer sufficient to tow my whitehall spirit solo 14 rowboat? The boat is 14 ft long 46 inches wide and 150 lbs. Do I need to upgrade to heavy duty shocks?

Hey Anthony, thanks for reaching out!
The Yakima Rack and Roll Kayak Trailer # Y24TR is a great product, but it won't work well for your Whitehall Spirit Solo 14. For that kind of boat we're going to need to use something a bit heftier and for that I recommend the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus # CE48870 as it has bunk boards and a winch mount at the front which will do a MUCH better job at distributing the weight of your boat.
We have a handful of photos that customers have sent in with different boats mounted up on the CE Smith trailer that I recommend checking out!
