I've got a utility trailer that I've converted temporarily to a kayak trailer. Temporarily because I need my Trailer back LOL.

Anyways, I got my hands on a boat trailer that I am looking to convert. But wanted to see about getting some ideas from you guys.

Here is my utility trailer conversion:

There is a thread on Texas kayak fisherman.com that is about 5 pages of trailers. A lot of great ideas!

Here's the first one I built, it fits into a utility trailer and is easily removeable, carries 7 kayaks if needed. Built it for our first trip to the forgotten coast.

Got tired of having to lift my yaks up onto my rack on my 4x4 truck so this one came along, started life as a Scotty camper then morfed into a two place trailer, plan on adding a second level soon to be able to carry 4 yaks if needed.

Not a trailer, but my $35 solution to $300 in Yakama racks.
It stays in the truck most of the season, but pops out in about 4 minutes if I need the bed.

Couple foam pads and some tie downs...If I had something that would tow a trailer id have a couple more Yaks and a jet boat...until then roof of the Scion it is...

Since these were taken I replaced the 4' tongue bar with a 6' one, and it works much better.

Wanted to bring this back to the top of the forum to see if anyone else has a trailer they want to share.

Let's see what you've got.

Finishing one up for my canoe. Adapting a $199.00 kit from northern tool. Extended the tongue 7 feet and adding racks. I have another one I designed and had made for me by some friends from scratch. Will post pics later of both. Need to keep those noodle out of the sun as it will destroy them in short time. Had them on the trailer made from scratch.

Exactly the post I was looking for! My friends and I are surfing around for trailer ideas. We have 2 canoes and 4 yaks. I really like the A-frame 6 space trailer. I am adapting a 5x8 wood bottom flat trailer. I'm going to check out that Texas fisherman site now. Thanks!

Yak Trailer

Built this frame to sit my kayaks on top of my utility trailer. Just needs a coat of paint now. Three 8 ft 2x4's and some scrap PVC pipe I had laying around.
