Kayak Trailer

[GeorgeFitch]

I will soon be selling my rack equipped truck and getting a very small car. I can't/wouldn't want to mount racks on it. Living in a condo means I can't keep a trailer outside. This one looks good. Has anyone owned one or seen one?

Thanks for any info.

I haven't seen that one, but I've seen many that have a main beam running north/south on the trailer with arms hanging out on each side to carry a lot of kayaks/canoes. You should check out a local paddling show, there are always trailer companies that go to each show and you can look at them and talk about setups and stuff. I've seen them at the ADK Paddlefest as well as the Jersey Paddler show.

I have a 14' boat trailer that came with the house that I bought and I keep thinking about converting it to a kayak trailer if I ever get another boat or so...

There is a guy who sells these trailers at the UNH Paddlesport show every Spring. The show is usually in late March/early April.
If you don't need the trailer for this season,I'll bet you could get a deal buying it at the show-maybe tow his "demo" home with you!
