Malone Micro Sport Kayak Trailer : Ditch the Headache

This video will go over the Malone Micro Sport Trailer and why we made the decision to make this purchase to transport our many kayaks to the water. Save your back and the hassle of loading a unloading kayaks on and off the roof of the car. We hope this video helps aid you in the purchase of a kayak trailer, this one or others.

Great review, thanks! I've been very happy with the trailer for 4-5 years now and you only touched on the best part of this trailer in my opinion -- the retractable tongue. It's easy to stand up and store at the front of the garage!

Thanks for the clear and concise review. Looks like an awesome setup you have there!

It was nice to meet you guys at La Jolla today. Congrats on the Thresher, that was a great picture. That super long tail is always a sight when up against the side of a kayak.

Excellent pro and con information. Thank you for the post !

Great video. I like the tongue boxes.

I’m just here to see the well-organized garage. 🙏

Check out Tennessee trailers. They make what may be the best kayak trailer I have seen.

Enjoyed the detailed video. FYI Hobie does not recommend storing or transporting their kayaks on the side.

So glad you posted about the inaccessibility of the Malone box before I got one. I have the trailer and plan to rig for my Hobie. Can you share how you added the tongue platforms for your cooler with tiedowns securely? Thank you.

Hi! What pelican case is that one? thanks!

[davidjennings]

Just checked there web site it's been updated to 800lbs cap, with mandatory 12in wheels, the power of the purchaser.

Great video. Will this trailer store upright with the tongue retracted?

[tmjoutdoors]

Thanks for the information and video. This was done well. I use my utility trailer but it’s extra weight that I have to carry for no reason. But it keeps me from having to own two trailers. By the way I dig the hat, where can I buy one of those? I always have trouble finding hats that fit and Do not have a completely flat bill. The slight bend is perfect for fishing with sunglasses. Thanks again Tim- Midwest

I like the way you have coolers mounted on the tongue of the trailer. Where did you get the plates you mounted on the tongue that the coolers sit on?

[robertogarza]

how wide did you space out the J hooks to hold the Hobie kayaks? More than 5ft?

[jb]

Not sure if this will make sense, but do you put the kayak in the J-hook so the bottom is resting against the long foam of the J and the sides rest on the short foam of the hook, with no part resting on the bottom of the J? This way the kayak is lying more at an angle. Or do you rest it in there with the side of the kayak resting on the bottom of the J, making the kayak just a bit more upright?

Nice video. Underbody tool box open from front not top. Might work.

[iowamatt]

it's a nice trailer, but the hauling capacity isn't enough. I started modifying jet ski trailers to hold 1 kayak in traditional jet ski spot and built rack with Yakima bars to accept all accessories. Total carrying capacity is around 2000 lbs and I never go smaller than a 12" wheel. Total investment is around a $1000. Not dogging the Malone but with a full cooler and 2 boxes, you're probably overweight with 2 Hobies. But whatever gets u on the water is aces by me. Keep Paddlin'

Thanks, nice video. Where did you buy the platforms to mount stuff on the tongue?
