I'd get wide load bars or learn to stack your kayaks when you carry two. That way you don't have to deal with a trailer or storing it. Even with my stock racks on my rav4 I can move two boats though I should get the right parts to mount my old wide bars to the new whip.

Passports, lynxes and outbacks are all stackable BTW.

Find an old PWC trailer. Either stack em or get a dual PWC trailer. Probably the cheapest most durable trailer option

ImageFinishing up my 1st kayak build...for now.

I'm new to the kayak game so I hope I did okay.
After tons of reading, watching videos, reviews etc, trying to stay with in a budget some what, I went with a nucanoe unlimited. Other kayaks on this list, native titan X, and old town, bonifide, hobie.
I wanted something easily customizable, easy to remove everything and put back on, ability to stand or sit comfortably, stable, newer, somewhat budget friendly, long lasting and or something I can grow into.
Originally planned to try and car top it, it's possible but a diy kayak trailer is in the works just to make loading, unloading, launching easier. I'm getting old and the unlimited is about 85# raw.
Lots of help from this forum, YouTube as well as local anglers has helped make my dream a reality. Thanks to everyone for the info, ideas, patience, help and positivity. I really do appreciate it so much. Thank you.
