Has anyone used a Right-On Multi Sport or Ruff Sport trailer for their TI? Available on Amazon or direct from the company. It's inexpensive, but I'm not sure if it is big enough.https://rightontrailer.com/product/ruff-sport-trailer/

Haven't used that particular trailer, but a few thoughts:
The weight of the TI wont be a problem. Length might be an issue, though, as the TI is normally supported by 2 cradles, some 8 feet apart. If it's just for short rides, this is less critical, but if you're trailering any distance, or storing it, you want it supported correctly so it doesn't bend or warp over time. If it will hang way out the back of the trailer, it might be too far back of the trailer lights, so maybe not legal without a flag and/or light on the back of the TI, depending on your state. Also, a short tongue makes backing the trailer hard, as it will want to jack knife quickly. A longer tongue is easier to maneuver.
Google small boat trailers, and you should fine plenty of options if you decide on something different.
