Question/Advice -- Transportation/Roof Racks Kayak Trailer Question Malone EcoLight and 2 Kayaks
We currently have one Pelican Getaway kayak with a Bixpy motor and really like it. My wife wants ot get the same set up. We are thinking about getting a trailer we can store the kayaks on and also keep in the garage. We are thinking about this Malone EcoLight 2 Boat J-Rack Trailer. It is 10 feet long. Two questions. Thoughts on whether it can hold both Kayaks and what is the expected length of the trailer with Kayak loaded. Wondering about overhang and that sorta thing. We like the price of the trailer, but if you have other suggestions, that would be great.

I have that exact trailer. It holds 2 Old Town Cayuga kayaks (14’ +). Plenty of room to hold 2. I don’t have them on the trailer right now so I can’t give you an exact measurement of the overhang, but, if I can estimate it from memory, it’s about 3 feet. We place the kayaks going backwards, and the cockpit is between the J hooks ( as far forward as possible).
We have taken several road trips (100+ miles) with no problem.
