I brought a trolley recently (recommended by another member Kads) and am really happy with it.

It transports the Kingfisher so should do the malibu easily enough.

Here is a link to the site on ebay. I got mine for $55 delivered by making an offer.

There are plenty of options for kayak trolleys, I use a cTug trolley and it is really good. One thing I would stay away from are the scupper trolleys I personally think they are not ideal for kayaks.
I see your based in Altona if your after squid try out from Apex park, Williamstown or Point Cook.

hi tibet i just made my own trolley out of 20mm pvc copied it from a vid i saw on youtube. Cost me about $35 I've got mine going thru the scuppers because i know its not going to move around. I also inserted an old broom handle down the tube to reinforce it that idea i got from herbie works a treat.
