Where to get custom trailer (or mod) San Diego - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bruntoj · 01-18-2016, 09:21 PM

Where's a good place to get either a custom trailer or modifications to a stock trailer, preferably around San Diego county? I'm looking at buying 2 kayaks: A Pro Angler + Outback/Revo and really like the idea of a double decker trailer similar to this. I need something as narrow as possible (50") with a retractable tongue if possible to help with garage space.

I found this pic on another forum, and frankly don't know where to start.

Or this

Much appreciated
John

The top picture is all done with unistrut, strut 90s and strut couplings it looks like. And a big handful of 3/8ths hardware. Go to home depo and check the electrical section and you will find the hardware you need to build that.

Do a search on Craigslist for a welder to customize your trailer. Down near Los Angeles you could have small welding shop custom fabricate whatever you need.

I was hoping some of the local guys might chime in on a reputable trailer place, or a reputable welder, I could visit with these pics (+ pics of possible Hobie/Trailex/Malone base trailers) I'm concerned I'd pick a trailer that wasn't suitable for the mod. I thought I read somewhere that aluminum trailers/welding wasn't as abundant on the West coast.
