Kayak Trailer

#1 Post by anthony byrne »

Meself and the father have been talking about trailers over the past few months. We wanted a trailer that is light and can take the two kayaks but more importantly the width had to be kept to a minimum due to access restrictions. He came across a farmer getting rid of a clapped up trailer with the right width so he bought it and we stripped it out and done some welding to strengthen the trailer and cross bars to hold the second kayak. We also painted it today. Next stage is to sheet it out and then add accessories for the camping trips.

She's painted up and the floor laid. We got some hard wood flooring at a knock down price. So the plan is to paint it again with marine grade paint when its finished. Just hoping it was the right decision :?:
