Our verdict

A submersible off-road kayak trailer kit with wide-set load bars and oversized tires. It needs hours of assembly and a ball hitch on the tow vehicle.

Overview

A kayak or canoe owner with a ball hitch on the vehicle gets a trailer kit built on a reinforced steel tongue, with oversized pontoon tires and plug-and-play lighting. Black powder coat over pre-galvanized steel is the rust protection.

The reason to look at it is the submersible build, which suits launch ramps where trailers get wet. The limitation is that it ships as a kit, so assembly time and the right ball are on the buyer.

Who it's for

Canoe and kayak owners hauling a long boat to the water over uneven ground. Buyers who want a pre-assembled trailer, or whose vehicle lacks a ball hitch, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fully submersible build
  • Submersible LED lighting to DOT standards
  • Adjustable crossbar spread
  • Instruction manual and registration papers included
Cons
  • Assembly takes hours with tools
  • Included list names only the base trailer
  • Vehicle needs a matching ball

Performance notes

Ground clearance and the oversized pontoon tires are what let it roll over rough approaches to the water. Galvanizing under the powder coat is the rust defense after submersion, and the load bars with d-ring tie-downs hold the boat. The listed capacity is the limit for what the crossbars can carry.
