Wow!!!
I figured they would have something for shock absorption.
I guess its so light it doesn't need it.

Kind of tough on the boat, depending on the boat, of course. ........... |

Depends on the model. Mine is the double-double, made for two TI's and has leaf springs. |

Can you mount any sort of mast storage box on the double trailer for the TI, or do you have to go to a double-double for that? |

I know it's from a while ago, but this has worked well for me with just a few changes to the overall design since I first built it. viewtopic.php?f=69&t=35469 Good luck. |

I converted a john boat trailer to kayak trailer. I removed 1 of 2 leaf springs on each side. It seems just right for kayak(s) weight. I feel the constant road vibration & bumps cant be good for hulls and decks. So I believe in trailer suspension to accommodate kayaks. |
