VEVOR Boat Trailer Dolly, 420lbs Load Capacity, Carbon Steel Trailer Mover with Adjustable Length, 15.7 in Pneumatic Tires and Nonslip Support Bracket, for Moving Kayak Motorboat Fishing Boat

Very sturdy, better than expected for the price. But among the worst instructions I’ve ever seen which made assembly more confusing than if no instructions had been included. Purchased for 14’ sailboat dinghy.

This dolly is well-built (heavy) and designed to meet the need - I agree that there could be a little more weld on the wheels and that the instruction photos are poor but it wasn't really that hard to assemble - I would also reiterate a previous comment - the extra bolts, nuts, washers are in one of the tubes - even has a sticker on it to tell you, so check there before posting that it is missing.It is not as portable as those smaller dollies but I was not enjoying having to lift my heavy kayak and drop it on the C-Tug and then cinch it down - plus the C-Tug wheel dont roll as well as the Vevor does although I do wish the wheels had bearings - it looks like they just ride on the plastic(?) material.The breakdown of the dolly is pretty easy - I just bought some of those wire lock pins and used them everywhere - makes it a snap to assemble/disassemble.I am considering a mod to it to accept a coupler but will use it as-is for a bit to get a feel for if needed or not - I also may enlarge the pad holes to allow for maneuvering the pads to a greater angle - we'll see on that one too.Edit - Used it for first time on 10/5 - worked well easy to put into water than to get out - the wheels float so you have to step on the trailer to drop it for loading. The handle is bad - not a good pull point - I will look at mod to make it more comfortable. I can tell you that if you have a steep ramp and a heavy kayak that it will still feel heavy - thinking about modding it to put a trailer coupler on it to pull w truck up to an unloading spot. Otherwise - it is easy to assemble/disassemble, faster to get into/out of the boat ramp area, and I didn’t get water into my boots like I used to so all-in-all it is a winner for me.Edit #2 - Was having issues keeping the kayak centered on the pedestals when loading it from ramp - would take forever to get it right as you also still have to deal with the floating issue so, I added a doubled up 3” strap that spans the pedestals (similar to the dynamic dolly that Greg Blanchard uses) - problem solved.Edit #3 - Hobie Outback still twists between the posts even with the strap - looking to mod the posts (grind them down on an edge) to allow the base plates to be more on an angle. Will update with results.

As far as durability the jury is still out. But the directions are terrible. First It reads that only a socket wrench is required then shows a picture of a box wrench calling it a socket wrench. And then they go downhill from there. This is an actual line from the directions. "Step 1: Connect G with X2+Y2+Z2 and install on A". The tires, deflate them first to relax the tube. Inflate to about 3-5 pounds and inspect the bead and work your way around the bead to ensure it is set. Add a few more pounds and inspect the bead again. Continue till you get the desired pressure. I only run the tires at 1/2 the side wall pressure. As far as tools, I found a box wrench, socket set, pliers and screwdriver was the easiest. I pull a small fishing boat about 200' behind a Cub Cadet 20 hp mower with the trailer.Update. I had to inspect our seasonal summer camp house to see what spring choirs need to be done. It was minus 7f outside and 3f inside the house. 1' of snow on the ground. And I had brought the trailer with me to store at the house. So I decided to assemble the trailer in the living room and just finger tightened the nuts and bolts. I gave up on the directions and just laid out all the parts on the floor lining them up so they made sense . The trailer went together in about an hour. I did as you can see in the photo make my own removable pin hitch to attach the trailer easily to the back of my lawn mower. That took me 1/2 hour at home. Come spring time I'll move the trailer outside in two sections and tighten everything up. It's 7 months from when I received the trailer and the tires already have dry rot. I received the trailer in January and stored it in an untreated house. In the spring moved it outside for use. The trailer is stored outside in the shade. The tires should have lasted longer.

My wife has a 10 foot fishing kayak that is very heavy and the normal kayak dolly is too difficult to use. The Vevor is easy to load the kayak onto, supports and balances the kayak and makes taking the kayak out of the water easy. The kayak just floats onto the Vevor. And its much easier to pull and maneuver.

I will not buy from this manufacturer again. These instructions assembly instructions are as poor as anything I have ever seen. It is my suspicion that this item has been trouble for Amazon because the customer service chat agent moved very quickly from asking me details to issuing a full refund with no need to return the item, which is nice, since it is either large, or a lot of pieces. The instructions are so bad, I cannot tell if it is missing parts, the parts are wrong, or if this is a different version of a very similar item. But, these instructions do not help with the assembly of this item.

The product quality is great, including the wheels. But, the assembly instructions were written horribly, hard to see the photographs, and there was some hardware missing. I had some lock washers on hand so it was fine. Would recommend, with a few stipulations.

This product started to rust after the first trip. Also it is not quick to disassemble (unlike like the dynamic dolley), the pin is only to adjust the length of the handle, not to quickly disassemble and thus is much too long to put into your car without modification. The front pads do not hold a kayak well(you need to raise them) and the back pads do not offer much support(a quick fix is to put a strap between them to mimic the dynamic dolley). The handles fall off easily and there is nowhere to mount a bow strap easily, but that can be worked around. Overall this offers a decent base and it would have been 4 stars if it didn't start rusting right away. If you assemble like in the photo you are able to use the pin to quickly assemble and disassemble.
