Why Choose The Malone Large Kayak Bunk Kit
-
Better Stability: Traditional cradle carriers or shorter bunks may not support large kayak hulls properly—these longer bunks reduce stress points and help distribute load more evenly.
-
Easier Loading / Unloading: The long bunk length provides a longer lever or resting surface, reducing lift height for kayak’s ends; helpful especially with longer or heavier boats.
-
Durability: Marine-grade coverings, weather-resistant varnish or coating, and galvanized hardware help resist wear from salt, moisture and trail conditions.
-
Compatibility: Works with all Malone trailer models; easy to retrofit.
Ideal Use & Suitability
This bunk kit is ideal for:
-
Owners of large or wide-hulled kayaks (e.g. stable fishing, tandem, sit-on-top, pontoons) who struggle with shorter or narrow roof/trailer supports.
-
Users who want a more secure, stable transport solution for their kayak, minimizing movement and reducing damage risk during transport.
-
Paddle-sports enthusiasts who need durable, weather-resistant hardware and components that can withstand exposure to saltwater, sun, and trail debris.
-
Those who already own a Malone trailer and want to carry larger kayak gear more reliably.
