Mine was designed as a kayak trailer from the start, it does bounce around
a little when towed empty, but I had it up to 90 on a considerably less than
straight and flat road when I was road-testing it on the way home from buying
it and it seemed to cope very well. I probably wouldn't want to do that if it
was loaded with boats worth a lot more than the trailer - or on a road with
any other traffic :-)
