Has anyone built a Harbor Freight Kayak trailer? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Less then $350 for the trailer and all the parts to modify it.
You can use a the HB 20% off coupon for the trailer to save some $$.

Damn, that looks nice powerzz. If I lived local I'd be picking up a HF trailer this weekend and take JarrodMc up on his welding skills.

No welding needed, Just a few holes drilled in the tongue replacement.

where did you get the larger tongue at?

Escondido Metal supply. $45 for 10'

Thanks Nitsuj. Powerzz, that is a nice trailer setup you've got. Personally though, I would like to have brackets at least in the stern of the boat on either side to cradle it more and to be able to strap onto.

I actually have a couple pieces of PVC pipe, (carpeted) that fits in the contour of the bottom of the boat and keeps it perfectly aligned on the trailer.
I'll take some pics tomorrow if I get chance.
