Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I finished assembling this trailer last week. Putting it together myself really helped me to become familiar with how this product was engineered. I have to say that it is VERY high quality in virtually every detail. As you might expect, my alternative would have been to get a 4 x 8 utility trailer and adapt it for use with kayaks. I have purchased and assembled a 4 x 8 trailer in the past, and this is of much higher quality. Also, the longer tongue helps with clearance for longer kayaks. I also appreciated the fact that the axle that came with this unit was pre-assembled. The package sold here on Amazon not only includes kayak carriers, but also a spare tire and mount, and a set of 15' cam straps and safety lines (which you can use to secure the front and rear of very long kayaks if needed). BTW, this trailer looks like it would be compatible with most car-top carrier accessories making it even more versatile (say, for carrying bikes, etc.). My Thule stackers fit just fine, for example. The two top aluminum cross bars are 65" long and are 1.25" x 1" in cross-section (1.25" front-to-back, and 1" top-to-bottom).
As others have mentioned, the instructions were very clear INCLUDING cautioning you to check for things as you go that will save time (such as making sure both leaf springs are facing the same way before you bolt them on...!). You can go to Malone's web site download the instructions if you want to take a look.
The people at Malone are very helpful and know exactly what paperwork you will need to register your trailer as a newly-built vehicle. In California, unfortunately, the process is a bit of bureaucratic dance that involves TWO trips to the DMV.
The other thing is if you haven't signed up for Amazon "Prime" yet (where you get unlimited free shipping by second-day overnight for I think $79), you should DEFINITELY sign up for it if you are going to buy this trailer. While you won't get second-day (as is disclosed when you order), the shipping is still free and this is a 250 lb. shipment from Ohio, which I suspect would easily cost more than $79. So anyway, check that out.
After I have used the trailer if I have anything to add I will update my review.
