Hello all thank you for any help in advance . I have had my kayak for years and live across from a beach and would lug it about a football field away to the water. As I get older this is not doable anymore so I am in the market for a trailer. Could anyone please recommend a trailer for me I have been looking at this one and currently own the cradles already not sure what else I would need to make it work. I live in a condo and would not be able to back up and repark the kayak in the garage so I would need to unhook it and manually roll it back in so something semi light would be nice any recommendations or solutions apricated ! trailer https://www.mariner-sails.com/trailex-k ... 220-s.html |

I can recommend the trailer you are looking at. I purchased the same Trailex SUT220 back in 2012 for a new Hobie PA-14 and used it for several years with only minor maintenance. I modified the trailer to add a tongue roll around jack/wheel and small 500 pound capacity, recovery winch for the bow to help pull the PA onto the trailer in shallow water. It also doubles as a safety line connected to the bow carrying handle. Don't forget to add a spare tire bolted to the tongue. Since the PA-17 is heavier (210 pounds) than the PA-14 (145 pounds), I would suggest the SUT350 so there is some load margin. I can tell you my PA-14 weighed about 180 pounds fully loaded and your PA-17 will most likely be pushing 250 pounds if you carry things like an fish finder, batteries, anchor, safety equipment, water, spare parts, tackle, etc, etc. Lastly, the tongue jack/wheel makes moving around the trailer a snap. |

I used a Trailex SUT 350 for years for my tandem island and would have no hesitation recommending it. Very solid and well built. Stood up to salt water without issues. The 220 is a bit smaller and more appropriately sized for the PA. I used a Harbor Freight trailer dolly to pull the boat and trailer, fully loaded, about 1/3 mile over level ground from my house to the launch site. The PA on a Trailex 220 should be considerably lighter and more maneuverable. |
