Question:
Whats the total length of the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer MPG460XT when tongue is all the pushed in?
asked by: Joe M
Expert Reply:
Hi Joe; the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT is 8-1/4' long when the tongue is retracted. You will probably be able to store it in your garage with the kayak on it if you support the tongue with something like the # BTBRV27FR. Assuming you center it on the crossbars your sea eagle is going to stick off the back 45" which will put you right at 12' overall which is the space you have available. Even if it is tight, I'm sure you can shift it forward on the crossbars to get a little extra room.
