I've used this a couple of times now, and I like it a lot. It's light, tows very easy, and does not bounce around. The instructions were very good and all the parts were there. Nothing negative at all.

As others have noted, the assembly time is considerably longer than forecasted, but the parts are clearly separated in clear baggies, well labeled, and the instructions excellent. I had one minor part missing, but a call to Malone in Westbrook, Maine got the part on the way to me by first class mail.

The Manufacturer's Bill of Sale, and Certificate of Origin required for Maine Registration was sent out immediately upon request.

Having this trailer for our two sea kayaks has resulted in our getting far more use out of the kayaks (17-footers) since us seniors no longer had to hoist the kayaks onto the rooftop of our SUV. The trailer tows perfectly at 60 mph (or more) and it has attracted a lot of interest from other kayakers at the boat ramps.

I had hoped to get a trailer coupler in the 1-7/8" ball size, but the trailer tongue can only accommodate a 2" coupler.

I bought this trailer a few months ago to haul a canoe to the BWCAW. Assembly took about 5 hours and was not difficult thanks to a decent manual. My canoe is 17 feet long and about four feet stick off the back end. I added four Yakima gunwale brackets and straps. The canoe towed beautifully even on bumpy gravel roads. The trailer holds the canoe high above the road which I think will be a benefit if I drive through wet gravel roads.

I searched for a multi-use but light weight trailer that could do multiple tasks.
The Malone MicroSport trailer was it. It was delivered quickly w/in 4 days of purchase from Amazon. My challenge was putting it together- it's delivered in 4 large boxes. However, the directions were quite clear and I was able to complete it even though I am a 50+ year old woman with out much experience with tools. My first trial was a 500 mile trip using the trailer to move a Thompson Skiff, placed upside down - the trailer held up very well with out any problems on different road types. It's also wonderful to store- since it doesn't take up alot of space.

I would purchase the Malone trailer again and have recommended it to friends.

Really pleased with this trailer! Bought it to transport my fishing kayak so it is super easy to load it on/off and no risk of damaging the car.
Took me 3.5 hours to assembly. Not bad at all!
No problem at all to have it register at the DMV here in FL (just bring the certificate of origin and bill of sale that Malone will provide you after you call them when you get the trailer in(I ordered the trailer from Amazon)).
Going to purchase the storage box to keep the fishing gears out of the car.That way wifey will stop yelling at me that the car smell fish! LOL
