Defy, There is a good picture of it on the J&P cycles facebook page dated July 24. http://www.baxtercycle.com photo gallery page the boat is fully rigged. I pull it with a 2006 Triumph Scrambler 900. Its a blast. The sidecar is on and off in about 10 minutes. Great in the snow. During the winter, I strip the TI down and leave it outside. before the TI, I was towing an outfitter. The Trailex aluminum trailers make all of this craziness work very well.


Pretty cool if you decide to upgrade to the 15's let me know!

Just over $900 including the cradles. I think the trailex one is closer to $1100 not including the cradles.

I wouldn't know I'm still waiting on my 2015 to be delivered. This trailer is from a certified Hobie dealer so I'm inclined to trust that they know where to place the cradles. Isn't it like 63" of spacing between the cradles?

That's a bit of a worry that the dealer set up that trailer. On my trailer, as a rule of thumb, my TI is divided into four, with the usual 63 inches (from memory) between the cradle centres, and rollers mounted halfway between each cradle and the end of the hull. My TI sits on the trialer like that all the time except when in the water.

I don't know what this trailer's cradles are measuring at, but I will make sure that when they deliver my TI and trailer to me in the spring that the cradles measure out at 63" on center.

I would love to. But, alas, life interferes. Soccer, house construction, kids, etc.

I work 8-430 m-f. keep me posted, I'm always up for a kayak adventure after work and on the weekends.

spent this last weekend at Branched Oaks. Absolutely incredible. screaming reaches, big waves, even took her back out at midnight for a star filled night cruise. It was amazing. I dont have boat lights, so I used my Coleman lantern. I have to research boat lights. I really like night sailing...
