Like the reviews. Will this handle a 17 ft canoe and also adjust to a 14 ft kayak.

Yes, it is simply a small cart that you strap to the end of any canoe and then pull it from the other end of the canoe. So the length of the canoe or kayaj doesn't matter.

It should. You just need to be innovative with the way that you strap them on.

We have a new tandem kayak that we haven't tried it with yet, but it works with our 10 and 12 foot kayaks just fine.

I used it in canoe this summer about 15 times - and for about 4-6 hrs each time. I had no problems with the strap giving out or even loosening up. I actually like to adjust it forward and back to give my back a different position every now and then while fishing. Adjustment is fast and easy and only take one hand. I am only 165 pounds, but the seat is rugged. I bet you won't have any problems with it.

i think it might be too short for 17""..i used it with my 14" HP and the length was just right...

I suspect it mostly depends on what you anchor it to. The rack is very sturdy. If the canoe's depth is not too great for the dimension of the rack, I'm sure it will support it.

I am using the trailer for a 14 ft. Jon boat and it works well. I think it would be very good for a 12 ft kayak. This is a good piece of equipment. The only thing that concerns me is that the wheels are rather small. I don't feel comfortable traveling over 55mph with this trailer and I try to stay off of interstates.

I use it for a 16ft fiberglass canoe. Can load and unload by myself pretty easy

only used for my kayak but it is made very well and handles well over all types of terrain just make sure you anchor the boat down well before you try to move it

These will hold my 21' canoe, 17' kayak, and my 12' kayak. They will hold anything.

I saw 1500 lbs. somewhere on the site of the item. I use it on a light weight trailer that I use for my canoe - about 100lbs. It works fine for that. Not sure how it would work with a heavier item. If you're worrying about the weight rating (or if I were worrying about the weight rating), I would go to an expert on trailers.

I am not the one who uses this, but my stepson says it works great for his kayak. To specifically answer your question, here is what another reviewer said on Amazon, "I was a little concerned this would only work on a very small kayak but it works well on my wide 15' canoe. The tires do not take air since they are solid now so time will tell if they hold up but at least you don't need to worry about a flat." I am a mechanical engineer so based on my assessment you should have no issues with a canoe. The kayak/canoe just sit on the cart and you pull it by the front of the kayak/canoe. Wheels come off easily and folds easily for storage during your time on the water. It's a nice design. I am not the one who uses this, but my stepson says it works great for his kayak.

Still seems to work well. 2 main issues are balance and securing your kayak/canoe to the cart itself. Takes some practice and experimentation to get them right.

Legally no, but my kayak and your canoe are both "too long". Keep any loads that you put in the canoe up front and within the length of the bed. Excess weight in the aft section might tend to pull the canoe out of the bed in an emergency stop or swerving. Just like loading a trailer. Too much weight in the aft might also create excess load on the extension it's self. Keep the weight in the truck and have fun.

I bought mine last fall and have not used them. I will next week for a 60# plastic sea kayak. I have checked it out and feel that's its well made and should be able to handle about anything you can fit on them

Yes, My husband just measured it and said that it will work! These are working great for us. My grandson and I can load/unload kayak with ease.

Like I said it handled 2 kayaks well. So 100lbs? Don't over tighten and I would recommend the taller ones for the jeep. I found myself wanting more room under.

Just ran down to the beach and measured my stands: 15 inches wide. Not knowing the measurements of your canoe, am guessing it would work if you place your canoe so each stand is under a seat. My kayak's beam is 28 inches and I store it, hull side up, on the stands with no problem.

Our 13' will fit a 13' 2" kayak. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
