I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Would this work for a 12 ft Jon boat, 130 lbs ? Thx
We have a 10.2' and I belive it should work for a 12' no problem.
I have a double sit kayak 13.5 ft. Does it fit?
It will fit, but it will definitely hang out over the back by 3 or 4 feet. I suppose that is no big deal, but you should be aware of that. I used mine for a 16 ft canoe, but it hung off the back by about 6 ft, even after moving the front stop bar as far forward as possible. So I bought a 10 ft piece of steel tube and used it instead of the 5 or 6 ft tongue that comes with it. That allowed me to adjust it so my 16 ft canoe did not hang 6 foot over the back. Also, notice the two carpet covered boards? They are flat and straight, so they don't fit the curvature of the hull very well . . . just contacting at arc point of the hull . . . again, no big deal, but when it sits in the hot sun all day, the weight of the canoe pushes the floor of the hull up to conform to the flat boards. I may make some modifications for that. Also note there is no front roller for the bow to rest on. I had to buy a roller and make a bracket to support the front of the canoe. I also put a rubber V stopper on the front vertical stop bar. Finally, I added two brackets to the back to hold a strap . . . painted the whole thing black with silver wheels and put two BMW logo's on the wheel bearings just for fun. Otherwise, very happy with the trailer. Good Luck!
I have a 17 foot aluminum boat will it work?
I have converted the trailer to carry my 17 foot canoe by replacing the tongue with a longer one. The canoe hangs over the rear 3 feet which works with a canoe, but perhaps not with a boat. Also, the canoe only weighs 75 pounds.
Could this hold an 11 foot long six foot wide inflatable boat?
Should be no problem. It’ll hang out to the sides a bit and extend over the end of the trailer as well. I have a 10’ by 5’ beam sailboat on mine.
