If I was looking for a trailer, things that I would want
- Wide track (the distance between the wheels)
- Open aired long box (wire mess) between the wheels for paddles and gear, along with a covered area (wire mesh) for lighter items such as wetsuits and lifejackets to dry/air out.
- I like the idea that the racks are removable so that the trailer could have multiple uses
- The racks would be nice if you could add on a section to carry for more boats. A two boat trailer is all I need today, but it would be nice to be able to hull up to 6 boats, (how about using the same idea as a receiver hitch, put in a section and add a pin to add another level.)
