2: Included trailer. This limits your buyer pool to individuals with a tow capable vehicle who want to deal with a trailer. Suspect that's the biggest issue. Splitting the trailer out separately might help, but you may end up stuck with a trailer, too.
Part out if possible, part out with fewer items to bring the price point to a certain range. Right now it is a sellers market because the lack of new stock, but the majority or people are in bad shape financially or skeptical about buying unnecessary "toys". Like mentioned, people are looking for 1 year newer model preferably because of the drive upgrade. Check with local dealers about buying you kayak as an option. Because of the lack of inventory, you might be surprised what they offer. Good luck with sale.
