Store kayak at a marina?

Hey all,
I am looking to get into kayak fishing and was wondering if any of you a.) store your kayak at a marina or b.) even know if this is possible without having a slip first. Currently I drive a 350z and would need to setup a trailer for a kayak, but figured I might be able to store one in Mission bay or or the harbor until then.

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

Yeah i know you could but it gets expensive. It's a good idea for a temproary thing but it quickly adds up. You need to get down to Mission bay and find out the storage rates. Good Luck

I suppose an additional question might be does anyone know where to get a cheap trailer or have plans on how to make one?

I have two suggestions. You could probably rig up a jet ski trailer to work with a kayak but putting a hitch on a Z-car might be a challenge.

I know that there are roof racks that can be adapted to work on your car. I saw a guy a few months ago with a yak strapped to a Porsche. Maybe not the best idea but probably doable.

Yeah I have seen this http://boofsquire.com/ , but am unsure about a 10ft+ kayak on that thing.

You need an old beater fishing truck, One that likes salt and rust, and the interior that can handle that squid ink and smells like fish and spilled coffee, it will probably cost as much as storage after the season.....after all you will be catching fish and hauling gear.....

Leather seats can hold that stank and stain real good...

A truck for fishing...a "Z" for trolling....life's good.........

i'd pass on that one. just noticed it has a max capacity of 50 lbs. I think you'd be a little over that or very close with most fishing kayaks
