AI transport option

I've seen lots of guys transport AIs or other long kayaks the same way as eelkram. Do you have a shell or an open bed? Because if you don't have a shell, I'd suggest getting a solid, permanent rack...either a lumber rack or two-piece like this:
 

I got my two-piece rack on Amazon for about $120 shipped and I've had it for 3yrs now w/out complaints.

I am going to use a trailer until I get tired of towing. Less lifting.

I keep mine on a trailer.  Limits the places I can launch a bit but worth it to me for the ease of loading/unloading.

Would storing on the trailer with the Hobie cradle still cause oiling if kept in the garage?

Should be fine in a garage just make sure its not strapped down and the weight is evenly distributed

Went with the trailer and she cae home safety. Lots of cops on 299 today. Harvest season.

Good looking AI

This is what i did.  Also i put some pipe foam and zip tied it to the crossbar so that it doesn't scratch the kayak and provides a little cushion and elevation.  It is a cheap solution until you can get a better one.

Trailer looks nice!  It must be easy to load and drop in the water.
