Why does Hobie make double trailer options and not in USA?

Why is it that I only see double trailer options for Australia and nothing in the USA ?I am looking to transport more than one kayak and I see that Hobie has a kit for installing more than one kayak on a trailer .Even with the option to put up Three . Is this going to be available in the US or is this only a Au. thing http://slhobie.com.au/images/transport/ ... railer.jpg

these are bolt on options and not real expensive 190 for level 3 another 100

Bump.Please any responces ?

The internet is your friend if you use it.
Here are some of the Trailex trailers (Hobie specs/sells) that will carry more than one kayak......https://www.trailex.com/Canoe-Kayak.cfm
If you search the forum, you will find several trailer set ups that are inexpensive to do/modify by yourself.

ever thought about just having a trailer made?

this is double wide for 2 PA14s, made to my specs and is now a 'stock item' at Float-on. i've helped them design a removable upper tier that will also carry a pair of Outbacks or other similar boats. so 4 kayaks in all.
