Trying to work out this image system.. anyways I got a floor model so it came with a anchor trolley, and I picked up a local (to the store I bought it from) generic kayak trailer. The great folks that sold me the 17t installed the cradles I bought and that rounded out my first Hobie! Gonna be a blast taking my daughter out, but I haven't settled on a PFD yet. It's pretty darned hot here in the summer but the life vest I picked out looks pretty insulating. I don't want to set myself up to fail a float test!

I have the 17T and the dolly works great. You can set it up to balance the load very easily. I have used the dolly to pull the 17t about 5 blocks down to my local lake a few times and I just throw it it the back of the truck other times.

The 17T is roomy enough to fit my 2 daughters (8 and 6). They trade off sitting in their old booster seat sitting in the middle so its plenty of room.
