How To Build Your Own a Kayaks Trailer!!

[Willy Asab]

I was so tired from carrying our kayaks and replacing them at the top of our SUV every time we plan a kayaking trip, so we decided to create something to make our life easier on the weekend, and this is what I came up with and so far it works great:

thats alot of kayaks.

im still building mine. only going to hold 3. but it has coolers, livewell/bait tank, a gas grill and im trying to figure out how to mount rod holders... either vertical in the center or horizontal above or below the yaks.

Lowprofile,
If you check the 3rd & the 4th photos, I did mount 6 fishing rod holder at the back straight up and it works great only when I carry short kayaks up to 10 ft once I start buying 15 ft to. 17 ft kayaks the poles will be in the way, so I took the out, you try on the side of the bar by replacing another bar and add the pvc on the side it should work great.

mine was for a 16ft boat. works well. the smaller trailers would work for just the kayaks, but im trying to build it up for long trips.

love the pink malibu and the one I was looking at was a double a little wider and lower I thought it would be great to launch with from a boat ramp

Yakin,
Double Jetski trailer is a great idea. You can easy build a metal frame with bolts and screws and add bars to acommadate kayaks according to your needs plus with extra space for a tool box or to keep your life jackets and if you have more space add a large coleman ice cooler for your catch, it should work great let me know if you needs extra ideas or designs I can search and posts extra photos. if you are planing on hualling multi kayaks like mine you need to weld the frame safer on the road and screws get lose after a while, good luck keep me posted with your project.
