What better way to break it in than fish entrails from bow to stern.

Mate, everything you see in the pic other than my Kayak comes standard with the Redtide deluxe.bjspinner wrote:Unfortunately all the opinions you get sometimes are not relevant .Vanillazilla wrote:Fellas I'm not entirely sure what to make of some of the responses but I respect your opinions.
Personally I'm extremely happy with the trailer and its performance when towing.
Some people have a preference for heavy trailers and some prefer lightweight.
As far as I'm concerned as long as you're happy with the end result and it gets you to and from your fishing locations safely, that's all that matters.
The trailer I purchased is a quality rig above and beyond all trailers I have previously checked out.
I've not come across a trailer so perfectly and specifically designed for these types of kayaks.
Jason of Redtide Trailers has a Hobie Outback and has been transporting it with the same model trailer I purchased.
They're good trailers and I would recommend them with confidence to anyone considering a new Kayak trailer.
And no I have no financial interest or stakes in Redtide Trailers.
It just so happens that I stumbled across them in this very forum from a post made recently by another member.
Thanks all for your input and feedback.
My next mission is getting my Yak wrapped.
I'll keep you posted.
The frame above the kayak is that part of the Redtide package or owner done?
I does look great however, I would lift the frame up higher so you don't have to remove the seat to fit under the frame this also gives you the opportunity to leave the sounder and rod holders mounted for a quick launch setup.
Cover the water tank it will get hot in the sun.
My trailer has been a year in the setup these are little things I found very convenient and bound to find more as you use yours.
The weight of the trailer with all the boxes etc on top is between 180-200kgcheaterparts wrote:I don't know what everyone going on about ether - the unit looks well balanced with well and truly enough weight over the draw barVanillazilla wrote:Fellas I'm not entirely sure what to make of some of the responses but I respect your opinions.

it looks like it would tow really well
just guessing on the weight I doubt the trailer would be over 300 Kg bare add a PA that still leave a lot of room for gear before it went over 750 Kg
just my thoughts on the subject
We are now back on the subject and that is a very nice set.Cheers Babylonsawtell wrote:cheaterparts wrote:I don't know what everyone going on about ether - the unit looks well balanced with well and truly enough weight over the draw barVanillazilla wrote:Fellas I'm not entirely sure what to make of some of the responses but I respect your opinions.

+1 to the above.
Seems to be a lot of people on vyak at the moment who just want to read themselves type.
To the topic,I think that set up looks grouse! Maybe you havnt mentioned it on purpose, but what price range is that in? Can't be cheap!! Big fan of inbuilt wash down system. Beats my pump spray I carry!
I'm seriously considering anither PA and a trailer, these setups make me want it even more!

that is quite light - we use to manufacture a solid 6 x 4 box trailer they came in at 230 kg --- my own yak trailer would go 350 kg with out a water tank and pumbingVanillazilla wrote: The weight of the trailer with all the boxes etc on top is between 180-200kg
Significantly lighter than some may have assumed.
