My trailer has hauled my kevlar Necky Looksha 4 HV thousands of miles with no apparent damage. In between trips, my kayak sits on the trailer (hull down) on the same Thule 878 Set-to-Go Saddle kayak racks it travels on. I have been looking for deflections in the hull on a regular basis over the last two years but have found none. I give this trailer high marks for its high-speed, soft-sprung, shock-damped performance.
