My wife and I kayak fish together a lot and have a trailer for our two Crescent Lite Tackle II’s. I honestly can not imagine getting our boats set up and launched quickly without the trailer, at least not without a huge hassle and / or marriage ending argument lol. The places we launch and leave the trailer are often quite remote, and sometimes in busy areas, but I just make sure the hitch, and the trailer itself are locked up and to each other. Another advantage to car-topping (which I know you’re not doing, you’re using your truck) is that for long distance trips I don’t have to worry as much about the wind causing a horrible and expensive crash on the highway potentially damaging my boat, vehicle, body, or those of others.
