I'm curious...How in the world do you load and unload your PA by yourself?
Please give me some info tricks or something.

I just got a Yakima rack bolted that bad boy on the top of my chicks quest and just used a spare piece of pipe to do the same thing. Connect it to the front rack overhang and just follow that guys vid. I think some pool noodles will be good cushion for now.

My Jeep Wrangler's a soft-top and the wife would shoot me if I even thought about installing one of those racks on her car, so I bought the Hobie (Trailex) single kayak trailer with the Hobile Pro Angler cradles. Works great!

Even though I am 55 I just manhandle the PA by myself to the top of this trailer:

Thanks for the replies,I don't know why I wasn't finding most of those videos. And there is no man handling my PA. I must be weak or something cause when I'm carrying this thing with somebody I feel like I'm picking my truck up.

yea, those PA's are heavy! I always make sure I can load and unload close to the water. it seems easier for me to put the PA on a yak cart and transport it that way instead of having someone help me carry it. I did have a friend push the PA up a slight incline and he said it about killed him (The lake was at 8200' elevation and he is 5'6" while I am 6'3")
