2015 PA14 Roof Transport

The trailer I posted above is for long hauling and I have a couple of spare PVC poles that go on the cross racks when I haul the PA.. Works fine.

The trailer below is for short hauls, carries my PA and can carry one more in J racks (usually my Revo or Outback). It's an old waverunner trailer, galvanized... I NEVER have to dip it in the water.

I'm 52 and carry my pa12 on top of a xterra all the time. It's a pretty tall SUV. I have 2 PVC pipes mounted on top. The slides on and off like butter. Just need to tie it down well. Process takes less time than it did. To trailer my Jon boat and I'm not exhausted or beaten up after

I can have my PA in the water in less than 30 seconds off the trailer, already loaded and absolutely no lifting or straining..., sorry just not understanding how car-topping is easier/quicker to load and unload than a trailer.

I didn't say it was. I said it is takes less time for me to get the PA on/off the roof of the SUV, than it was previously for me to get a Jon boat on/off a trailer. It's one of the reasons I got rid of the Jon Boat and trailer, and got a PA instead - to simplify the process. I don't need the trailer, motor, and gas with a PA instead of a Jon Boat. Life is more simpler with just the PA. Slides on up/off the SUV easily, no trailer required. I have to lift half the boat to get it on/off the SUV same as I would the trailer, although it's higher it's not that difficult at all. I can then easily wheel the PA thru my gate into my backyard or wherever, and into my basement if I want for example for the winter; and I no longer have to leave a trailer, with it's own registration and maintenance, taking up space in my driveway. I pull my PA off the SUV, load it up, lock up the car and walk it to the water. I dont have to drive a trailer off the ramp and to a parking space.

you poor guys that have to register trailers... just ain't right...

Not in Oregon....my Hobie Trailex trailer is exempt.....cross the Columbia River and enter Washington State...pay the Governor!
