The trailer could likely handle carrying a kayak on top... problem is that I will have three of them. Some problem! Don't want the kayaks up that high (above the clamshell) for windage reasons... we sometimes get wind gusts up to 100+ km/h in the summer (160+ in the fall/winter) and that much sail behind a motorcycle would be asking for trouble.

: Or, get a trailer for the car which can carry the boats and a motorcycle.
: the bike is probably under 600 pounds, and the two boats would probably be
: under 120 for the pair, so your total load would be the trailer and 720
: pounds. With a light trailer weighing in at 200 to 250 pounds you would be
: about 1000 pounds or less -- which should be about the max for the cars
: you mention.

My Geo hardly has enough power to get out of it's own way, so it can't tow (It's got less than 1/2 the power of my motorcycle! LOL). My Echo is leased and I would violate the lease agreement just by installing (not using) a hitch so that won't work.

: With a trailer full of toys you can do interesting things, like one-man
: shuttles for river trips. Drop the cycle off at the take out point and
: contiue to the putin point with the boats on the trailer. Leave your car
: and trailer there, enjoy your trip, and when you pull the boats out you
: ride the cycle back to get the car. Load the cycle on the trailer, and tow
: it back to pick up your boats and the rest of your party.

THAT sounds pretty cool, but is not likely to work out for me.
