| Post subject: | Transportation of a PA17T |
I plan on purchasing a PA17T next spring. I have an 8x4 utility trailer I can convert to carry the kayak for most trips. One specific place I fish currently has a small beach which they allow kayaks to launch from but do not allow trailer parking there at the park. I’m also in the market of upgrading my vehicle to a new Silverado. My question is how difficult would it be to transport a PA17T in the bed of a Silverado with a 4’ bed extender? Is it possible to do it with one of the Hobie cradles attatched to the extender to support the weight of the kayak? I’m a rather large person at 6’7” and 260lbs and have confidence I can move if from the bed to a cart and back by myself. |

That’s a tough question. I own a PA 14 and it was a challenge to haul it in the bed of my Dodge 2500. It has the medium size bed. You might be able to pull it off. The 17 is huge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
