I'm a big fan of trailering, particularly for long kayaks (e.g. K4s). 
 The bounce can be mitigated by using soft suspension and by slinging 
the kayaks.

One thing I would caution against, though.  Keep clear of those little 
weeny light duty pup trailer axles and wheels.  Due to long highway 
trips, I had problems with bearings burning out way too frequently, and 
axles warping over time despite no overloading.  I haven't looked back 
since moving to a solid construction company utility trailer.

Cheers,
Richar Culpeper
