    Bought a kayak trailer

    I got a good deal on a used Malone Kayak Trailer
    There is a short in the main harness in the tongue that will take about an hour to fix but otherwise its in perfect shape. No more hauling them up to the RV roof

    Looks light yet strong. Probably won't decrease tow vehicle performance at all.

    Looks good. Only thing I would question is tires. Need a second one or get a larger size built to speed range you normally travel at.

    Yup----and repack the wheel bearings at a much reduced interval. The revolutions they make to one revolution on the truck could easily be 2:1.

    I built a canoe (2) trailer and put 15" tires on it, not because of weight but simply to reduce rotation speed and total revolutions.

    Hmmm... we're getting into size comparisons. Que Freud.

    Looks like you are also missing a rear tie down.
