I can definitely help and point you in the right direction.
I recommend going with the Malone EcoLight # MAL63FR since it will have the smallest footprint out of the other Malone trailers you mentioned. The trailer itself is about 10' 9" long x 58" wide and 31" tall. This will be advantageous if you are limited on storage space. The EcoLight can hold four kayaks and carry up to 400 lbs which generally is more than enough for most kayaks. We can also set you up with the retractable tongue in part # MPG494, and the spare tire in part # MAL33FR. There may be more than one Malone trailer that will work for your application, but I think the EcoLight # MAL63FR would definitely be your best bet given the circumstances.
