After comparing several different kayak trailers I bought one from Com-Fab Trailers in Atlanta through their dealer SEA Trailers in Stone Mountain. They make the trailer in three different lengths for 12, 14, and 16 foot kayaks. Even though my kayaks, a Native Ultimate and a Native Slayer, are both 12 feet long I bought the 14 foot model since some of my friends that may travel with me have longer boats than mine.
For a little over $1,300 I got a galvanized trailer with 12 inch galvanized wheels and Kenda tires and a spare. I also opted for bunks since I felt that they supported the kayaks better than just the cross bars. You can see the big difference in how I had to set the bunks to support the different kayaks. The trailer came with a tongue jack and a 2" hitch ball. The hubs are Super Lube hubs with a grease fitting that operates in much the same way as a Bearing Buddy.
Too many of the trailers I saw, like the Malone, have only 8 inch wheels which I don't trust. I really like the one made by Tennessee Trailers, but it was nearly $1,000 more. I had to make a four and a half hour drive each way to pick it up, which gave me time to catch up on Bass Talk Live podcasts.
I have to go get it registered tomorrow then take it out to play.
