I looked through the Paddlewise archives and was unable to find anything on kayak trailers so I apologize if I'm bringing up old issues.  I've been away from the list for a couple of years because I haven't been kayaking due to physical problems.  Surgery has corrected the problem but during that time we had to replace our vehicle.  We got a 4Runner.  When my wife and I went to pick up my new QCC 600 kayak from the terminal, the two of us had problems getting it on the rack.  We're both a little over 5'6" and we had a heck of a time loading and unloading.  Since she doesn't kayak I'm really concerned if I'll be able to do this by myself.  My question concerns kayak trailers.  Is this a viable option?  If it is, is bouncing a concern?  Any recommendations ... of any kind?  My present rack is a Yakima w/saddles ... which used to be reachable.
