Ordered the the Single TI trailer from Hobie but wondering if Yakima's Rack and Roll 66 trailer isn't a better choice for my v2 Tandem Island? Considerably more $$, but I like the idea of folding it away for winter storage plus the independent shock absorbing suspension. Couple questions come to mind -
1) how well do the Hobie cradles fit on the R&R crossmembers?
2) is the tongue extension required given that the TI is 18' and exceeds Yakima recommended 17'?
3) an other thought from those that have one?
Old thread, but for the benefit of anybody coming in later with similar questions:
1) They don't: you have to make a frame like this

partially defeats the "Folding Away for Winter Storage" in that you have to remove
... the frame and find a place to store it too.
2) Yes. Mine is an AI and it just fits. The TI would need the extension.
3) Get the Trailex, but get the size that can hold two boats - to give you some wiggle room vis-a-vis accessories and/or a cargo box.
