Eric, You're living the good life. Always having fun out on the water. 👍 I was watching how the trailer didn't seem to track well behind your boat. I think it might tow straighter if you attach it with a "yoke" shaped setup. Just take a length of rope and tie a loop -knot in the center and connect one end to each side of the trailer. Then do the same thing with another piece of rope to make a yoke for the boat. Connect the loops with a carabiner, or a piece of rope. Did you test the trailer with a variety of loads? It would be interesting to see how it pulls at each maximum capacity, half, and empty. I'd assume it tows best with a larger percentage of the load placed towards the rear. Oh, and just for fun you need to pull a kid or two around in it. 😄
Just subscribed, just watching your fun loving attitude relieves so much stress. We have nothing but cold water over here in the Pacific Northwest. Headed that way in a couple months and your videos are coming in handy for great areas to camp and fish. Thank you
What a beautiful location. Trailer looks good definitely frees up some space on the boat. Maybe a tow behind inflatable tent would be a good idea 😂 a bit like a boat caravan 😂😂
For towing connect your ropes in cross pattern. Left rear of tow boat to right front of towed boat - right rear of tow boat to Left front of towed boat. X pattern
@@thebigbeachclean3075 The seat can be adjusted to some degree to accommodate the proper position, and the swivel part helps a lot on that. I personally prefer a simpler setup.
Assuming you will only use this trailer for carrying stuff.. you could as well buy a budget dinghy (let's say cb290 or 330) for the same price and pull that behind your kaboat. (Leave the airdeck at home if you wish) How would you compare? I mean, is this cheaper , more stable on water or occupies less space in your car...
That's a good point. The trailer is around 300 bucks, while the cheapest boats is 500. The trailer, however, is best suited for jet-skis and other small water crafts, so it has its place in the market.
I read your message about making more trips and not just reviews. Allow me to explain, the reviews allow me to reach a broader audience where they ask me "Where is that" and "How do you get there". This happens mostly on my product reviews I make in those camping places, which at that point I share with them the already made videos trips I have made before, it's a system that recycles itself.
@ErickMartinSucre in fact I like watching your reviews ,boats gadgets everything. (The only problem is even though I like some of them , they are not deliverared to my country). And I know how difficult and time consuming it is to make videos while riding boat. You did a Pov video last time, you didn't want to upload it at first, but it grabbed some audience. Maybe you can do it again time to time, and we will see the real experience.
I love being on the water and those islands. I hope you have an extra camping video here, beside item reviews. Do you have any pov video on the way back to ramp? You were lucky that the wind was blowing behind you.
The wind picked up just when I arrived at the boat ramp. I could not dock because the waves wwew coming in. I can probably make that pop video coming back next time I visit Shell Key
I want to live like you man, just living my life🤩 you’re a big inspiration. Love from norway
Hello from Florida!!

Lol yeah, maybe. The weight limit is around 300 pounds. In the video I think I carried 100 pounds or so.
I bet kids would love it!
That's INSANE! I FOUND this very USEFUL, specially for my camping trips I am planning on doing 😃
It is a handy little trailer. Not sure if they are in stock.

Welcome, and thank you for the sub. We have plenty of warmth here in FL, that's for sure.
We’ll be in the area late April. Thank God for your videos! They keep me excited!
Woohoo! You'll live that Island, and the sunsets are incredible

I like that idea
Longer lead will greatly improve towing experience.
Agreed, or a y shaped yoke rope like someone else suggested. Overall it did what it was supposed to do.
For towing connect your ropes in cross pattern.
Left rear of tow boat to right front of towed boat - right rear of tow boat to Left front of towed boat. X pattern
Yeah, that would help. It's my first time, so I put it together the best I knew how, lol.
Is that west palm beach?
Shell Key near Fort de Soto
What happened to the swivel seat you had . Was it any good
It was, but I rarely used it so I sold it. Using the aluminum seats was more convenient for me.
My friend is thinking about doing it but isn't sure if the arm will swing past it .

@ErickMartinSucre a full speed bumpy ride, against the wind and waves...would be nice
Meanwhile, I'll grab my coffe and snacks and watch youtube 🙃
