What is the best way to load a Hobie Island Adventure Tandem onto a trailer?
We have a new Trailex trailer for our Hobie Island Adventure Tandem, if the weight is centered on the Island adventure cradles, it hangs about 4 feet off the back of the end of the trailer, but my wife, who has had boats before with her ex-husband says the boat should be all the way forward to the bow stop, so the boat doesn't slide forward if you stop quickly, but it's the far forward, it's so off balanced that the back of the kayak isn't resting on the back cradle. I don't think it's necessary to worry about the kayak sliding forward since you can run the straps through the holes that got through the kayak and secure them to the trailer; regular boats don't have holes in the middle of the boat. Not to mention, if the kayak is pulled so far forward, there is no support for the front of the boat to the stop.
Any suggestions, i can post photos if anyone has questions.
