Nuthin' special, but was able to aquire this trailer on a semi permanent loan from my brother in law. Just got to let him have it when he has to load up his jet ski for service. Win-win for us!

I have the same type of situation with my father in law. Their HOA doesn't allow trailers in the driveway so their ski trailer stays at my house. I usually just throw the canoes in the back of the truck though.

I already had the trailer to haul my lawn mower on. Outside of that, I have about $40 in the mods.

The posts are old STOP sign posts I got from the county. I just had to weld on extensions (trailer was too narrow), weld the receivers onto the extensions, slide the posts in and make a top brace from small receiver pieces and pipe. The rest is just 1/4 inch cable, eye bolts, clips, and PVC pipe.

I should be able to haul six kayaks easily.

Updated pic. Took the wave runner trailer I was lucky enough to keep and reworked it a little. Still a work in progress. Got some 72" 3/4" pipe from Lowes and an old yakima roof rack i picked up awhile back. A little primer/paint on the rack and she looks good as new. Gunna add hullraiser style racks on the sides to hold the yaks and an enclosed storage box to the front of the trailer. Also gunna to try to add an aluminum truck rack system(like in example pic above) too if I can get it to fit to the trailer frame. Will be able to store 4 yaks with plenty of storage if I can get the truck rack to fit! (Sorry photo 1 is upside down:()

well this was mine

but after coming home from a fishing trip on nov 16 and at a complete stop. i was rear ended and this is the result

Code:

and she had no insurance. totaled the trailer and my ocean kayak trident 13. now i am waiting on the funds from her. to replace both of them and my fishfinder. if you haul your kayak on a trailer go over your policy with your insurance agent to make sure you are covered. or you will be with out a kayak and trailer like i am and having to sue the drive to cover everything.

Here is mine, welded up a rack to hold 2 yaks (and can still be taken off to use trailer to hold my ATV), by removing 4 bolts off each rack, need to reinforce a little better to keep it from bending though.

Another updated pic....Still gunna put a storage box on the front, fenders, 1" lift (for more clearance between tires and yaks) and possibly a truck bed track rack system to be able to carry two more yaks.

Bought this trailer from a neighbor last month and started working on it for the kayaks. A few more changes and my son and I will be heading towards the Gulf come April.

WOW sorry to hear that, you have good advice for all. I 'm going to contact my agent to make sure I'm covered.

Correct me if I am wrong, but all of my insurance policies if the vehicle is fully covered the towed or hauled equipment is also covered. Now with liability insurance that's a different story.

Actually, liability is what extends to any towed vehicle. That is why you can't get liability coverage on a trailer. If your boat is covered as scheduled personal property under your homeowners policy, it would be covered while being towed.

Geffellz- If that 14 footer proves too much, let me know! :whip:

Nice trailer set though. I LOVE the storage possibilities.

Will do. Took her out on her maiden voyage today on the north end of the hooch for some trout action. Had a great time! Boat performed well considering the current and lack of anchor trolley.

Aprreciate it about the trailer. Yup, the baskets great for holding your cooler, camping gear etc.
