hi: the reason that I am not going to tow a trailer is that . . . I want to get a model Y tesla and use full self driving. However, trailers cannot be used in FSD. So, what I will end up doing is: get a model Y. Get roof rack. Get the hobie tandem island, with sail and double side float. And put all that on the roof. This way, FSD can take me to all the beaches without my having to drive. TLDR: racks are better on teslas. I won't get a trailer, after all.

Theres more trash on The bottom of that river I have ever seen. Was scuba diving and it was everywhere.

Thinking of moving to Parrish and was planning on making this my weekend activities. Thanks!

Thank you for making this video! I bought the hubby a kayak hoist years ago before I knew anything about kayaks. The one he ended up getting is huge and super heavy. I was going to surprise him with installing the hoist. However, the surprise might have been a damaged car hood. I appreciate you making this video so I can rethink my plans. 😃

Brother apparently there is a spring there, do you know of anything?

Would you think this trailer fits a 17 long canoe ?

Good info. How do you secure your trailer from theft while kayaking? Thanks!

This trailer is now $1,500 at my local retailer

Too much weight and expense. Why not use simple pvc runners?

I have a Grumman 19 foot canoe. The old trailer is finished. I need a new one. Will my canoe fit?

The hull design certainly helps make this one of the most stable kayaks I have seen.

I got 2 new trailers like this, same model . Will sell eqch for 500$. Brand New. Im located in Huntington Beach CA

I bought the same trailer last week for 460 and it was on sale 🥲

The bucklers are gone now on the new kits. There’s an improved set of multi position web straps now.

Thank you for this!

Great video, wondering if any corrosion if launch & reload into & out of saltwater . Great video.

Hi, good vid. I used Loctite glue on all my bolt threads. Some of them were spinning off going down the hwy due to vibration..use Loctite.

Thank you for this video. Good overview. Will you please do an update? Are you happy with the trailer? I like this trailer and the price is good.

these are 500 now :(

Link to the tires you bought? Thanks! Also can they be used on a harbor freight trailer?

I was thinking about taking my paddleboard out there with a couple of friends. Do you think that the paddle will be ok or too shallow or debris in a lot of areas for a paddleboard?

i strongly suggest spare tire. recently we had a flat on the way to taking flood victim supplies and had to leave the trailer. we came back to it being gone. stolen. even had it locked. no good deed goes unpunished.

What kind of trailer is that?

Thanks for sharing your tips. Yes, you got that right, trying to reload a kayak after a day of paddling does in fact take all the fun out of the day. LOL. Especially when one is 5'2 and 65 years old. LOL

Just bought this same one but it was $499 thanks to inflation. Now what changed between 2018 and 2022.... Let's go, Brandon!

Awesome video! I am new to the RUclips community and wondering if you have any feedback for me and my channel/videos? Thanks!

How early did you get started?

One of my favorite spots. I've seen gators there more often than not.

is this the 8ft or 12ft trailer?

Nice job!

I bought the same trailer from Advantage Trailer, I took delivery in August. I had to tighten up some bolts after I brought it home. I lost 2 bolts on the trip home. I texted pictures of the holes where the bolts were supposed to be to the dealer after I spoke with them on the phone. They promptly sent me the missing bolts. I keep my speed at 65 mph or lower with the trailer. It pulls nicely. I replaced my safety chains because I needed longer ones with a 6" drop hitch that sticks out about 8". I was looking for the Harbor Freight trailer for over 9 months and got fed up due to the lack of availability and ended up with the Continental EC2K12. All in all, I am happier with the Continental because it is galvanized and the wiring has marine connections, something the H.F. trailer doesn't have.

Heading there in a few weeks. Great video and suggestions! THANKS!

Huge help

Can u rent kayaks here

i am between a pungo 120 and this one. mostly on a gentle river and some lakes, what do you think?

I love mine. I don't fish out of it either but it would be great for fishing. This thing is slow though. You can't really call it a touring kayak honestly. In no way, shape or form is this thing even on the same level as my Wilderness Systems Tsunami. I got this for kayak camping with my dog since the cock pit is huge and the weight capacity is high. Also a good boat for family members that might not have the best balance as it is VERY stable. This is really just a fishing/recreational boat hybrid. It can do rapids but getting this thing over 2.5 mph you're going to be doing a lot of work versus a true touring kayak that can do 4 - 4.5 more with moderate paddling. It is still a great kayak, most of the reviews I watched I felt the speed they all claimed was misleading. The seat is comfortable. That rear hatch is huge for bulky items and can cram a lot of camping gear in their. Can also cram some dry bags in the front. It cuts water very well but the two pontoon style section where it starts is where it's speed gets killed. Dashboard was great, dry storage box is splash proof. Beer cans fit well in the cup holders with out worrying about it tipping going down some class 1 rapids. If speed isn't a issue this is a GREAT kayak still. Just expect to do about 2 to 2.5 mph at a moderate pace.

Can't wait to throw my canoe on there and go on another florida trip with you.

These particular hoists are rated for 60 lbs and you said your Kayak was 75 lbs. I agree with other posters. Why not just buy a beefier hoist rather than replace many of the parts, which seems like a more expensive option. I am also not sure what you did at the ceiling there. Screwing the brackets into a board screwed to the ceiling is actually less strong than screwing through the drywall into the joist ( and a lot uglier) It's still 4 lag bolts- 2 per bracket- either way. The one thing I will do is tie the two hangers together to keep them from spreading- but above the kayaks not under. If I am worried, I'll add a rope or bungee under the kayak to the ceiling for the winter.

Dude you're talking about strength in the 2-inch bull rope is. Do you have any idea how strong that material is? It's essentially the same thing as your seatbelt. It requires hundreds of pounds of force to tear it period. Why do you think tie down straps are so strong even though they're made from the same material it's about the weave. I have a set of 1-inch tie-down ratchets that have a 500 lb load Force. So two inches are probably well over 800 lb. Those hammock straps that you bought are essentially the same thing but with a different weave that's why it had to be thicker to reach that 800 pound load. The other reason that they make the hammock straps sticker is because of the multiple tie-off points and rubbing against tree bark and such. I don't think your kayak is going to be doing much rubbing. The belt itself would never have torn under 75 lb LOL actually half of that since each strap would be supporting half of the overall weight. So you're worried that your boat is going to fall because you don't think that that strap apparently could hold 37.5 lb. Hell you could probably hoist a 75 lb kayak with jute twine LOL. Or better yet go and get some 550 paracord for $5 a bundle for a 50 foot length of it at Walmart. I clicked on this video really thinking I was going to see something Innovative. And all I saw was somebody over engineering something that doesn't need that much thought. Each of those pulleys divided Force by about half. A4 pulley system on a 75 lb kayak is literally lifting 18.75 pounds per pulley and each of the termination points only lifting half of the overall weight at 37.5 pounds per termination, so you over-engineered this for what reason🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂. Give me a two-by-four, four 1 and 1/4 inch clothesline pulleys from walmart, a bundle of paracord. Three .97 Cent carabiners from Walmart. Two 50 lb eyebolts. A couple of 4in screws with fisheye washers. A steel ring , And an old tie down and I'll make the entire system for $25.

anyone looking at buying this trailer for a kayak few things I found out that no one talks about is the trailer bounces like crazy the suspension is very stiff and its leaf springs are very loud on bumps on potholes so if you have an expensive kayak like I do few things I did lowering the tire pressure to 20psi and remove the smallest leaf spring from the suspension on each side , that will make a little better other wise is like putting you kayak on a wagon with wooden wheels , something to think about .

3rd video I see saying its under $300 its priced at $499 right now

The wire tubing was a genius idea. I was thinking along those lines but saw your video before I worked it out. Bought two packages, 14' long, 1/2" diameter, from Harbor Freight. Used it all, including all the way to the connector. Half-inch accepts 4 wires easily and 5 can fit. The tubing fit thru pre-drilled holes on the frame. About eye bolts, I plan to carry lumber or general hauling and also wanted hook and rope-friendly tie-downs. I wanted to preserve the option to use the stake pockets and I wanted tie-downs attached firmly to the frame, so replaced one of the bolts holding on each of the stake pockets with an eye bolt.

Hey mate, are you happy with your decision with the EX123 over the Pungo? Also can I ask if you’re able to car top the EX123 yourself? Thanks!

Concise, reasoned description. Ive looked at this option a lot and I think this convinces me.

Thanks. Great video. I was looking for ideas and love yours!!!!!

Here's a link to the Hydrologic chart at Litha Springs Park - water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=tbw&gage=litf1

Will the trailer still fold up with the would on it?

They are 500 now

Guy who buys the cheapest hoist is worried about it’s quality.

Ok, but you didn’t account for asteroids striking nearby…
